This announcement today about the first of 2 auctions for 700 MHz is
going to describe how the auction will go.
Will it be large geographic chunks or smaller broadcast areas.
Starts at 10:30.

Apparently there is a meeting scheduled today, April 25, at the FCC
over how the 700 MHz band is going to be split up for auction. It
amazes me how we can be kept in the dark about these meetings. If
anyone can tell me how to get included on announcements of such
meetings I need to know about it. This really angers me that we are
not there with some representation today. If anyone reads this who is
near the DC area please go to this meeting and tell them we need
spectrum to be made available on a base station license basis. They
need to auction off individual base station licenses or reserve some
for a flat fee so all of us can compete. If they do not then hundreds
if not thousands of operators who are now serving rural broadband will
not be able to compete. This is an anti-competitive problem that the
FCC needs to address with this auction. This is a big deal. If we do
not get some 700 MHz or similar sub- 1 GHz spectrum it is going to be
very bad for us all.
