FCC Announces New Integrated Spectrum Auction System
|
The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau is pleased to announce the release of a new auction application filing and bidding system known as the Integrated Spectrum Auction System ("ISAS"). ISAS will replace the existing FCC Automated Auction System, which comprises a Form 175 electronic filing component and a bidding component.
ISAS was designed to enhance and simplify existing auction processes. It combines the auction application, bidding, and administration processes into a single system. ISAS includes FCC Form 175 application enhancements, such as automated checking of data accuracy and improved application search functionality. The FCC Form 175 application also allows applicants to enter information as discrete data elements, rather than uploading this information as free-form exhibits.
The auction bidding system has also been updated for easier navigation, customizable results, and enhanced bidding features. The new bidding system allows for multiple types of auctions (e.g., simultaneous multiple round-auctions or simultaneous multiple round-auctions with package bidding). Moreover, it permits both bidders and non-bidders to access a variety of reports and results as an auction progresses.
The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau is planning to conduct several ISAS orientation sessions in which the software will be demonstrated to the public. An opportunity for hands-on access to the software will also be available. FCC staff will be on hand to assist in using the new system and to answer questions. These sessions will also be available via webcast. For more information go to: http://wireless.fcc.gov/

| CALIFORNIA SCHOOL SCRAPS PLAN TO RFID-TAG ITS STUDENTS |
(Courtesy CGC Communicator)
A pilot project at Brittan Elementary School in Sutter, CA
came to a quick halt recently when the company providing the
high-tech electronic school identification badges withdrew from
the program amid a chorus of protest from parents. Opposition
centered on the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
tags to facilitate taking classroom attendance in much the
same manner that industry keeps track of inventory and
livestock. (L.A. Times website/sometimes requires registration)
