Randolph
May, President of the Free State Foundation, will participate in a webinar on
November 19 hosted by the Digital Policy Institute (DPI), an interdisciplinary
research think tank based at Ball State University. Other panelists joining Mr.
May for this webinar, “Spectrum Auctions and Band Plans: Maximizing Auction
Revenues and Minimizing Post-Auction Problems,” are Preston Padden, Executive Director of the Broadcaster’s
Coalition, and Rick Kaplan, Executive Vice President of Strategic
Planning at the National Association of Broadcasters.
Among the many key legal and policy issues the panel will address are: the FCC’s proposed system for broadcasters choosing to relinquish spectrum; whether eligibility restrictions on wireless carriers wanting to bid would reduce the overall auction revenues and, correspondingly, broadcasters’ incentives to cede spectrum; the methods whereby broadcasters not choosing to give up spectrum but are relocated in repacked spectrum will be reimbursed for their costs; and the continued availability of broadcast service for TV viewers.
The webinar, Tuesday, November 19, 2 p.m., EST, will go live here just prior to start time.
