FCC proposal would free unused airwaves to be sold or leased

Article Abstract:

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is expected to announce on Nov 9, 2000 proposed rules that would allow wireless firms lease out or sell unused airwaves. According to FCC officials, the commission is conducting a review process that would result in a secondary market for the airwaves. The move is designed to encourage a new market wherein brokers offer slices of airwaves and prices rise and fall according to demand. Currently, the FCC sell wireless licenses at multi-billion dollar auctions.

TV stations will be bought, but probably not quickly

Article Abstract:

All those who expected that media companies will rush to gobble up television stations because of the federal regulations being eased may be in for a surprise as not many companies have shown any overt interest in this regard. It is believed that this could be because many media companies are short of funds or are otherwise preoccupied with problems of their own.
