What Auctions Could Look Like

By Brad

According to John Eggerton of Broadcasting & Cable, the FCC has released a model of what a spectrum auction could look like to interested parties:

The model is described as essentially a “tab A in slot B” description of the process, from reverse auction clock countdowns, to running the winning bids through the FCC’s modeling for reconfiguring that spectrum, to the spectrum’s re-auction to wireless, soliciting questions all along the way.

The model talks about cross-border spectrum arrangements and says there will probably have to be different rules for stations along the shared border with Canada and Mexico, seeking comment on what those should be.
