Public Interest Spectrum Coalition

On behalf of the Public Interest Spectrum Coalition, Public Knowledge submits these comments in response to the Public Notice in the above docketed proceeding. We commend the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau) for proposing to adopt anonymous bidding for Auction 86. As demonstrated by the use of anonymous bidding in Auction 73 (the "700 MHz Auction"), anonymous bidding eliminates the ability of bidders to engage in certain types of strategic behavior. This promotes increased competition for licenses and greater return to the public for use of the spectrum public asset.

On behalf of the Public Interest Spectrum Coalition (PISC) and the Champaign Urbana Wireless Network ("Petitioners"), the New America Foundation and Public Knowledge respectfully submit the following Opposition to Petitions for Reconsideration of the Commission's TV band white space rules.
