FCC's Bid for Posterity

摘要

Broadcasters of both varieties-the ones looking to sell their spectrum and those who want to preserve their signals-have reason to be upbeat about recent turns of events at the IAC (incentive auction central), otherwise known as the FCC. National Association of Broadcasters auction point man Rick Kaplan last week saluted FCC chairman Tom Wheeler for stepping up, "taking a breath" and deciding to push the incentive auction timetable back from 2014 to mid-2015. The NAB has long argued that slower and steadier would be the auction's winning pace.
