“Congress spoke clearly when it required this commission to auction this 700MHz spectrum so as to ‘ensure that all proceeds of such bidding are deposited … not later than Sept. 30, 2000.’ Indeed, each postponement points out significant commission shortcomings: non-compliance with the law, poor auction-schedule management and the repeated disruption of public expectations. With each delay, the credibility of our spectrum and auction-management policies becomes more suspect.”
