Auction 73 : Multi Play Multi Win
Uf!
My faith has been restored: we live in a civilized business world where everybody can be a winner, sky is the limit etc.
More specifically, as far as the 700Mhz part of the sky is concerned, the breaking news are that there are no breaking news and no disruptive solutions:
Winners
US government has won
~ 20 billions of declining US $.
AT&T has won
the C-block and the pride of carriers being carriers.
AT&T’s lawyers have won
significant fees and gem experience from lawsuits concerning the Openness clause.
Google has won
- the right to patch their apps on (carter)mobiles,
- access to the mobile advertising market (~ 3 billions d.US $)
- and saved ~ 5b.d.US $ to invest on their core business and on P&L communication (partnerships and lobbying)
Consumers have won
- a stable thus fitter-happier-more productive market
- having the actors empowered and doing their best to focus on client satisfaction with the cease of this corporate battle
- a monetization of their mobile clicking
- federal income
(others)
… you’re welcome to brainstorm.
Geometry: Symmetry and a 3D market that moves in balance.
The equilibrium of this auction is a piece of art.
The main financial flows are organized symmetrically, in analogy of size.
This is my oversimplified prism:
- Big still pay the Big (B to B) : AT&T pays FCC
- MicroPlayers AKA “consumers” pay attention that pays Google (MP to G)
The notorious interoperability in telecommunications could actually apply to business models as well , since each one has found its place in this multidimensional world.
As you can see above the 700 MHz space has been defined in 3D :
Little red axe: MP to G
Big red axe: B to B
The long red tail: their future interactions.
I commit to review my proposition to do away with auctions as sales procedures, taking off my hat to these infamous Google game theorists.
Hey guys, would you care to take a look into tougher games once you’ve finished with business peace?
