摘要

The House Communications Subcommittee moved a step closer to producing wireless nlegislation, holding what probably will turn out to have been the last in a series of hearings nabout spectrum. Members of both parties supported authorizing the FCC nto conduct voluntary incentive auctions. Chairman Greg Walden, R-Ore., suggested nadditional incentives for broadcasters. Using incentive auctions, if they're voluntary, “is not nonly good spectrum policy, it is good economic policy,” Walden said.
