OTD in 1938, @CBSRadio aired Orson Welles' War of the Worlds: "I have a grave announcement to make. Incredible as it may seem, ... those strange beings who landed in the Jersey farmlands tonight are the vanguard of an invading army from the planet Mars." https://t.co/fjGYwRGvdx — PolitiTweet.org

The next time you use a smartphone, I hope you'll give a silent salute to Evan Kwerel and the many talented career employees at the @FCC whose work over many years has enabled us to communicate. They've dedicated their lives to public service, and we're better off for it! 5/5 — PolitiTweet.org

Following up on Evan's suggestion, Congress in 1993 granted the @FCC the authority to auction spectrum. The FCC has held over 100 auctions since, generating hundreds of billions of dollars for the @USTreasury and likely *trillions* of dollars of value for American consumers. 4/5 https://t.co/U0jFByu66N — PolitiTweet.org

In 1985, Evan Kwerel and Alex Felker proposed a new approach: what if the FCC auctioned licenses? This would be more efficient; it would "provide a return to taxpayers"; and the FCC would have useful information on the value of wireless services.

As outlined in this thread, the @FCC for many years distributed spectrum licenses through lotteries or comparative hearings ("beauty contests"). These were inefficient, unfair methods that didn't allocate this public resource to highest-valued uses. 2/5 https://t.co/WZfHJYRAnK — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Integral Day! It was on this date in 1675 that German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz first wrote in an unpublished manuscript the symbol that current and former calculus students know well.
