Are Olaf and Guy just sitting there 24 hours a day with angry snarling faces alternately pressing the bid button repeatedly?

O2 and BT win it all.. Merge and take over the UK.

Be funny if it were like that. 800 1slot with obligation, starting bid 99p no reserve.
*RRP £1.2 Billion. 1bid
Bidders with less than 85% 3G coverage please contact seller before bidding

Payment by PayPal only, no bidders from Nigeria please.

Item condition USED.

Nobody wins in an spectrum auction, nobody except the exchequer anyway.

The biggest losers are the consumer.

Yeah, I would like to know what is happening because it has been weeks since the last announcement of "it is now underway"

Hmm, now you've suggested taking over the UK I wonder if Tesco are behind one of the bids - they would soon do the same in Denmark of course
