The Auction of Radio Spectrum for the Third Generation of Mobile Telephones

I have been a major participant in spectrum auctions, since December 1993 when the United States was planning for its first spectrum auction. My involvement has been in all aspects of the auctions: advising governments on auction design, advising bidders on auction strategy, and conducting theoretical and empirical research. Since 1993, I have written over one-dozen research papers on spectrum auctions, which have been published in leading economic journals. I have advised several governments on spectrum auction design, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. I have also advised twenty bidders in spectrum auctions around the world. I have advised a bidder in nearly all of the 3G auctions conducted so far. In the UK auction, I advised One 2 One, which provided a glimpse of the UK auction process from design through execution.
