FCC Auction Generates Lobbying Frenzy
The FCC's pending release of rules for the upcoming auction of the spectrum
from the transition to digital television generated plenty of meetings and
other lobbying activities Wednesday on Capitol Hill, ahead of a Senate
Commerce Committee hearing Thursday on the issue.
The netroots group MoveOn.org has urged its 3.2 million members to call Sen.
Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, to "ask her to demand that the FCC support 'open
networks' on our public airwaves and protect our airwaves from corporations
like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast who want to stifle competition and innovation
in the wireless market."
The auction in the 700-megahertz band of spectrum isn't expected until
January, but the FCC likely will announce rules at the end of the month.
Those rules are seen by people seeking changes as the determining factor in
the outcome of the auction. The stakeholders have been seeing each other on
the 8th floor of the FCC in recent weeks as they meet with agency staffers.
