- Description
- Draft Statement of Objectives The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) is seeking comments on a draft Statement of Objectives (SOO) for the design of auction mechanisms to support several programs from the National Broadband Plan. The broadband plan may be found at: www.broadband.gov. The draft SOO comment period will be open through August 31, 2010. The draft SOO seeks offerors with the capability to design and implement auction mechanisms for proposed incentive auctions and universal service fund support to provide comments to the FCC. Key elements of the proposed requirements included are developing a mechanism and associated proof of concept for each of the following programs: (1)Voluntary clearing of broadcast TV spectrum: a mechanism to clear and reassign spectrum. In the case of broadcast television, this involves inducing TV broadcasters to give up spectrum voluntarily, repacking the spectrum to create a contiguous block of cleared spectrum well-suited for mobile broadband and assigning the cleared spectrum to new licensees; (2) ongoing support of universal service: awarding universal service high cost support to a single service provider in a defined geographic area; (3) one-time support of broadband buildout (fast track Connect America Fund): awarding one-time universal service high cost support to deploy broadband in currently unserved areas; and, (4) one-time support of wireless broadband buildout (mobility fund): awarding one-time universal service high cost support to upgrade areas to a minimum level of 3G wireless coverage. The draft SOO is attached to this notice. Responses to questions and other information about the draft SOO will be reviewed and may be incorporated into the final SOO. For prospective offerors, FCC will post a presolicitation notice and hold a presolicitation conference in Washington DC once the Request for Proposal (RFP) is issued. The specific presolicitation conference date and location will be in RFP once posted. Please send comments on the draft SOO via email to Bridget.gauer@FCC.gov by the requested response date. Please include the solicitation number in the subject of the email.
