I can't comment on the spectrum auctions but BT's strategy on mobile has been stated several times and hasn't changed.

Before this all started someone suggested BT might get back into mobile and do the equivalent of 3 back at the 3G auctions, launching a 4G only service backed up by 2G & 3G partners. But things are different this time round as voice just becomes a data service. And with that, I shall shut up until it's over.

Will it be dominated by the incumbents? Will the operators (and indirectly their customers) end up footing a huge bill or will the Treasury be disappointed? Will we see some unlikely alliances emerge? A lot of people think LTE is pointless given that 3G deployment has been disappointing for many, but personally I hope LTE on 800Mhz will mean now neglected extra-urban areas might actually get useful service.
