FCC Circulating Quartet of Incentive Auction Items

The Federal Communications Commission's Office of Engineering & Technology and Media Bureau have teed up three incentive auction-related items for the commissioners vetting and eventual vote.

The moves are the latest in the FCC's pledge in a May auction report and order of a series of subsequent actions in preparation for the mid-2015 broadcast incentive auction. The actions comprise three notices of proposed rulemaking (NPRM's) and one final order, and deal with inter- and intra-service interference, unlicensed spectrum, wireless microphones and low-power TV's. Drafts are being circulated among the commissioners, so they have not been made public yet, but an FCC official spoke about them on background.
