    I'm not surprised. I think it was smart:

    "I'm not gonna bid on this auction unless the rules are such that even if I lose the auction, my company can still benefit from the release of the airwaves!"

    Then they lost. They spend nothing upfront, but still get to use the airwaves as needed.

    ``This keeps the number of national competitors to a minimum and will help allow Verizon to keep its customer loyalty rate high,''

    Or something like that. Yeah.
