Implementation of Section 309(j) of the Communications Act Competitive Bidding

The Commission modifies its rules pertaining to three aspects of auction design for the broadband PCS auctions: Procedures triggering the close of an auction, timing of the auctions for the entrepreneurs' blocks, and anti-collusion rules. These actions are intended to speed the conclusion of the auctions, thus facilitating rapid introduction of service to the public; to improve the administrative efficiency of the auction process; and to foster competition and widespread participation in the auctions.
