Over 200 bidders are covered !!

Identifies who the bidders are in a brief, easy-to-use format
Key Findings
While industry and media may be focused on a handful of national service providers, there are another 200 service providers competing for spectrum that can be used for a WiMAX triple and quadruple play.
Competition for even the most remote rural licenses may be fierce as local, regional and national service providers grab "the last of the beach front property" that can be used for 4G wireless networks that can enable service providers to offer triple and quadruple play services on one network
