FCC Puts Off Reverse Auction Of TV Airwaves
- The Wall Street Journal, Monday, December 9, 2013 3:52 PM
The Federal Communications Commission is delaying its reverse auction of TV airwaves from next year to mid-2015. "At the auction, TV stations will consider bids to relinquish their airwaves and either go out of business or be placed in another channel," writes Gautham Nagesh. "The spectrum will then be put up for licensing by wireless carriers, who covet the low-frequency airwaves because they can cover greater distances and travel more easily through physical barriers."
