Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, told FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski by letter that nvoluntary incentive auctions aren't enough to prevent a spectrum crunch. The auctions may nnot raise as much as the $25 billion estimated by Genachowski, and they “will yield only a nfraction” of the 500 MHz sought by the FCC in the National Broadband Plan, she said.
