All five Federal Communications Commission Commissioners will testify on “Keeping the New Broadband Spectrum Law on Track” on Wednesday, December 12, 2012 before the Communications and Technology Subcommittee of the House Energy & Commerce Committee. As they become available, further details will be posted here.
Congress gave the FCC authority to conduct incentive auctions to reallocate and repack spectrum for wireless broadband use and fund a nationwide public safety network in the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012. The FCC recently launched its rulemaking process for implementing the incentive auction and repacking process, as discussed in prior posts.
