WASHINGTON, D.C. 20554 News Media Information: (202) 418-0500 Fax-On-Demand: (202) 418-2830 Internet: http://www.fcc.gov ftp.fcc.gov DA 97-2657 December 18, 1997 FCC Report to Congress on Auctions -- Corrections This Public Notice corrects portions of the FCC Report to Congress on Spectrum Auctions, FCC 97-353, WT Docket No. 97-150, which was released by the Commission on October 9, 1997. On page 23, in the box titled: "Auctions Encourage Innovative New Entrants," the second sentence is amended to read: "Airadigm has not only provided services to parts of rural America but it has also reached some of the most underserved Americans by joining into partnership with the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin, which plans to provide cutting edge wireless local loop service on the Tribe's reservation." On page 33 of the Report to Congress, the last paragraph is amended to read: "Future auctions being planned include those for licenses to provide LMDS, paging, 800 MHz SMR, 220 MHz services, and additional narrowband PCS. Furthermore, Congress has identified additional spectrum for auction in the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. The CBO estimates that auction of this spectrum alone could raise close to $16 billion, and that revenues from all future auctions could be as high as $25 billion between 1998 and 2007." For further information about these corrections, contact Joanne Kumekawa or Howard Griboff of the Auctions and Industry Analysis Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, at (202) 418-0660. -FCC-
