There is a large literature on the theory and practice of spectrum auctions. The following are very good accounts of contemporary spectrum auction analysis:
P. Cramton, “Spectrum Auctions”, in Handbook of Telecommunications Economics, M. Cave, S. Majumdar and I. Vogelsang (eds)., Amsterdam: Elsevier Science B.V., 2002, chapter 14, pp. 605–639.

The following report offers a detailed insight into the 3G spectrum auction held in the UK in 2000:
“The Auction of Radio Spectrum for the Third Generation of Mobile Telephones”, report by the comptroller and auditor general, HC 233, Session 2001–2002: 19 October 2001. Available at http://www.nao.org.uk/publications/nao_reports/01–02/0102233.pdf.
