AIRWAVES AUCTION SHOULD AIM TO FOSTER NEW BROADBAND CHOICES
[SOURCE: Center for Democracy & Technology]
A substantial portion of soon-to-be-available public airwaves should be
allocated to promote new competitive alternatives for general-purpose broadband
Internet service, CDT said in comments filed this week with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). The FCC is facing a momentous decision over
what to do with valuable wireless spectrum in the 700 MHz band that is being
returned by broadcasters as part of the switch from analog to digital
television signals. CDT believes that allocating substantial spectrum to
broadband with preconditions for neutrality and wholesale access will be the
best way to foster competition and innovation on the newly available airwaves.
