The FCC is continuing its efforts to harmonize TV and wireless spectrum bands with Canada as part of preparations for the upcoming incentive auctions.



In a blog post on the Commission's website, Gary Epstein, Incentive Auction Task Force Chair, and Mindel DelaTorre, International Bureau Chief, wrote that the FCC and Industry Canada have finalized a Statement of Intent (SOI) that sets forth a framework and timeline for the repurposing TV spectrum for mobile broadband on both sides of the border.

Were I in change of the RF spectrum in Canada, I would be demanding a minimum one-billion-dollar fee per auction, just to save the bidders from having to do it twice.
