Members of the Competitive Carriers Association are in Washington, D.C., this week for a series ofrnmeetings, mostly on Capitol Hill, with the FCC shuttered, CCA President Steve Berry told us. A key focusrnof the meetings will be CCA’s push for license sizes smaller than economic area (EA) licenses for the TVrnincentive auction, Berry said. That issue has emerged as one of the biggest for small carriers interested inrnbidding in that auction (CD Sept 23 p1). “We’ve got a lot of carriers, vendors, suppliers, coming in to talkrnto people on the Hill about the incredible need to have smaller geographic-sized licenses if you want to continuernto have competitors in every market,” he said. “This is a huge issue for us as we move forward.”
