PRESS STATEMENT OF FCC CHAIRMAN WILLIAM E. KENNARD REGARDING
ADOPTED RULES FOR THE C AND F BLOCK AUCTION

These rules carefully balance the needs of both small and larger entrepreneurs to acquire spectrum at a time when the Internet is moving to portable wireless devices. The upcoming C and F block auction presents a tremendous opportunity for companies to put previously unused spectrum to these new, cutting edge uses for consumers.
