Neither.  The wireless companies (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mo) are
going to pay for it.  The government will use part of the revenue from
selling off the spectrum to pay off the broadcasters.

Which of course means that you'll end up paying for it, one way or
another.  (But Congress has already budgeted in fairly optimistic
profits for this whole business.)
