The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour PCS Auction Story Featuring Lynnea Bylund Part One

http://catalysthouse.net/category/history/

The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHourt PCS Auction Story Featuring Lynnea Bylund. This news report aired on my maternal grandmother Winnie's birthday Feb. 3 which was a nice surprise.

This is the very first opening day of the PCS Auction. The first auction ever held over the internet. Game theory techniques of Nobel Prize Winner John Nash of a "Beautiful Mind" deployed for this historic auction.

We started out with 30 bidders for the top 99 PCS licenses in the US. After 30 days of bidding, there were 18 winners who collectively bid up $7.7 Billion Dollars US. The most amount of money raised in World History.

My woman owned company was one of the 18 winners next to Sprint, Bell Atlantic, AT&T, Verizon, MCI, US Airwaves, etc.

Part one of two. Part one sets the story up. Part includes Lynnea's interview which begins the segments coverage of Game Theory.

@AaronBruceLadner Why do you think he needs to come back? He didn't retire from the NewsHour just like that.

And he does still appear on the show from time to time - just not as an anchor or reporter.

I think the NewsHour's fine as it is, although it will be very much different once Jim calls it a day.

@IHateLadyGaga1991 Robert MacNeil needs to Come Back to the NewsHour.

Obviously February 3, 1995 - Robert MacNeil retired in October of that year.
