| FCC delays 700 MHz auction rules
The only thing the FCC settled on yesterday regarding the 700 MHz band auction was to decide that they will cut up offered sections of frequency in to 3 sizes - Cellular Market Areas (CMAs), Economic Areas (EAs) and Regional Economic Area Groupings (REAGs). Or, in other words: small, medium and large. The large areas will give advantages to big companies with lots of money because the bids for these will run in to the billions of dollars.Other than that, they punted. They asked for further comment and won't set the rest of the rules till later. But they must act quickly, because the auction has to start by Jan, 2008.
The only other thing they did was give an ex-FCC commissioner's group a favored crack at getting public safety spectrum, while killing off a competitors proposal. »gigaom.com/?p=8849&akst_action=share-this
One partial winner Wednesday was Frontline Wireless, the combination public safety/commercial wireless network plan led by former FCC chairman Reed Hundt. While Frontlines proposal (which would require a slight tweaking of auction rules) clearly has fans and foes among the five commissioners, by asking for more comments on the proposal the FCC has moved Frontlines plan from idea to possibility, while all but killing off consideration of a similar but different proposal from the Cyren Call operation. One other controversy will emerge. Martin wants bidding rules giving a 4G coalition of large companies an advanatge to help create a 3rd pipe for internet access in to the home. The other FCC Commissioners weren't as gung-ho over the idea. »gigaom.com/?p=8849&akst_action=share-this
Another group that is moving in the winning direction is the so-called Coalition for 4G in America, a Google-led group of high-tech players that also includes Intel, Yahoo, eBay, EchoStar and DirecTV. FCC Chairman Kevin Martin, in what amounts to a verbal smackdown (in the polite language of FCC proceedings), said he was surprised and puzzled that other commissioners werent more supportive of the coalitions requests for rules that would help providers build a wireless access network. -- -- Internet News My BLOG My Web Page | |

| Somethings wrong.. .... when "FCC chief Kevin Martin recognizes ..." anything..
The man's a complete idiot! In other related stories, he also thinks we're not doing enough to protect children from violence on TV. Set top boxes with title, rating, and channel block, along with the V Chip and the rating system isn't enough so we need alternate methods in place.. like reduced bills for removing those channels that have violence (which means 100% discount as they pretty much all have it) and ala carte (the man won't give up) .... in the end, maybe Kevin Martin will "recognize" that parents need to control their own kids, not government.
Kevin Martin needs to go - simply put. The man is a complete moron with no clue. But then again, it's not his fault.. he's just another idiot in the team of idiots that goes along with the current list of total incompetents that this administration has in place.
Kevin Martin wanting to improve availability and cost of broadband service? Maybe he would put a stop to telephone from cherry picking deployment.. or these threats from AT&T and Verizon that if they don't get what they want, they won't deploy. Maybe if he pulled his manhood away from restricting and holding back cable while phone gets a free run, maybe services would improve. Maybe if Kevin Martin actually gets back into the business of regulating telephone instead of rolling over and showing his belly to the phone companies, their would be more deployment. Last time I checked, cable reaches further than telephone. -- "Complaining is the least path of resistance for the self-reitchous and lazy..." | |
