The FCC 700MHz wireless spectrum auction will produce deal-making with lots of cash changing hands but only small near-term tech advances as far as the consumer is concerned, according results from a The Battle for the Wireless Internet war game run by Fuld & Company, the nations leader in competitive intelligence.

Held at the historic American Academy of Arts & Sciences in Cambridge, Mass., the institution where Alexander Graham Bell first demonstrated the telephone in 1876, students assumed the identities of companies in the 21st century wireless internet space, including:

University of Chicago Graduate School of Business Google
Northwesterns Kellogg School of Management – Intel
Harvard Business School AT&T Mobility
MITs Sloan School of Management Vulcan Capital

Teams worked to predict corporate strategies that may follow the upcoming FCC auction closing. They concluded that the industry will be hard-pressed to build out the infrastructure needed to enhance consumer benefits in the next two-to-three years.

Kelloggs team, representing Intel, won the war game contest based on four criteria: its strategic insight, accuracy in presenting Intels strategy, creative ways it expressed Intels vision in the wireless Internet space, and, finally, its ability to project its strategic vision into the future.
