FCC Shouldn't Increase Reserve Spectrum in Incentive Auction, Mobile Future Says

The FCC should ignore requests from some companies and groups to revise the rules reserving some spectrum for smaller carriers in the TV incentive auction, Mobile Future Chairman Jonathan Spalter and others from the group told FCC officials in recent meetings. “In these meetings, Mobile Future urged the Commission to reject calls by certain parties for reconsideration of the spectrum set aside in the upcoming incentive auction,” said an ex parte filing by the group. “There is no need to revisit these issues and put the success of the auction potentially at risk or cause unnecessary delay.” The filing was posted by the FCC Monday in docket 12-268.
