600 MHz Auction Proposal Seeks Middle Ground on License Area Size

The best structure for the upcoming 600 MHz voluntary broadcast spectrum auction would use a two-step process that would focus first on metro areas, followed by a rural auction, argues a new paper penned by NERA Economic Consulting. The paper titled “Local and Regional Licensing for the US 600 MHz Band” was commissioned by NTCA- The Rural Broadband Association and the Rural Wireless Association, and has been filed with the Federal Communications Commission.
