Host now on the the communicators, we want to introduce you to gary epstein, he is fair of the Fcc Incentive Auction Task force. What does that mean . Guest thank you, peter, i am the head of the task force at the fcc which is responsible for implementing the incentive auction which as a First Time Ever auction at the fcc for spectrum. Host and the incentive auction is the spectrum auction involving the broadcasters. It is called a twosided option and it will acquire spectrum from broadcasters in reverse auction, turn around, repackage it, and make it available to the wireless carriers. It is a
Test test the minister the minister will the minister will focus on the answer to the question. What i can say is that hes referring to other mines. The other mine that is topical at the moment is the one we are trying to get going. Thats all for this edition of question time wrap. Thanks for watching. Tonight, on the communicators, gary epstein, chair of the fccs Incentive Auction Task force discusses the upcoming broadcast spectrum auction allowing Wireless Companies to bid on air wave space.

But certainly, then in this type of dialogue, in the four i mentioned, hopefully those

My child,s watching she was playing out the old management begin with the end in mind. Our reported order begins with the end in mind. The chairman and his hardcharging auction team have focused on the finish line. Freeing up more spectrum for mobile broadband, providing more opportunities for broadcasters, and raising funds to support our First Responders. I am also pleased that the report in order is largely faithful to the Central Building blocks to a successful incentive auction. Simplicity, fairness, balance, and Public Safety. Simplicity is key.
