Coase’s proposal for spectrum auctions was “was treated with extreme hostility” and “mocked by communications policy experts, opposed by industry interests, and ridiculed by policy makers” who said Coase knew little about spectrum, or even economics. https://t.co/I2U6niAGbg — PolitiTweet.org

When Coase presented his idea to the @FCC, the reception was chilly. The first question: “Tell us, Professor Coase, is this all a big joke?” And two Commissioners deemed the odds of auctions being held equal to “those on the Easter Bunny in the Preakness.” https://t.co/l2VxUx8Cei https://t.co/EnZjUGIvB7 — PolitiTweet.org
