Tech at Night: Rural coalition questions John Deere on LightSquared; FCC, Obama, and SOPA picking winners and losers in industry
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | December 8th at 02:30 AM |
The FCC’s excuse for delaying the AT&T/Qualcomm spectrum deal was to work on the AT&T/T-Mobile deal. The latter has been withdrawn, so what’s the excuse now? AT&T and Sprint both get bad reviews.
