During the last cell phone spectrum auction Dish used 2 small companies to bid for it to get discounts of around 3.3 billion. Now the FCC is considering forcing Dish to pay the full price or possibly invalidate the bids.

Shortly after the auction wrapped up, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler told the commission's staff to study SNR and Northstar's applications closely, and told the staff that he thought something didn't smell right, one of the people said. The FCC has yet to approve the discounts and may decide the companies aren't eligible, the people said. While the agency is still weeks away from an official determination, the review has turned up a number of issues that could make the road to approval tough, they said.
