The Columbia Institute for Tele-Information will be hosting an online conference on Thursday, October 12th<\/sup> 201, at 3:30 PM.\u00a0 This conference, being organized by CITI Associate David Salant, will focus on examining the effectiveness of the FCC’s recent Incentive Auction on Spectrum Allocation<\/p>\n

The Incentive Auction was the most complex spectrum auction ever conducted. It successively cleared 84 MHz of TV spectrum and re-allocated 70 MHz for mobile services.\u00a0 However, it also took approximately 4 years to design, \u00a0and the bidding lasted for one year.\u00a0 Repacking of the cleared spectrum will take over\u00a039 months before the spectrum will become fully available for the winning bidders.\u00a0 This means that the entire process will have taken over 8 years to complete.<\/p>\n

This conference addresses how well the auction achieved its policy goals.\u00a0 It asks the questions, What, if anything, may be improved?\u00a0 Should the FCC or other countries try to run two sided auctions again to clear spectrum?<\/p>\n
