In
1996 Binz commented on behalf of the Competition Policy Institute to the FCC
on the use of LMDS spectrum. CPI supported the FCC's policy of keeping
incumbent telecommunications and cable companies from obtaining licenses for
use of LMDS spectrum. CPI agreed with the FCC that such limits would help
ensure that new telecommunications entrants would use the spectrum to
compete with incumbents.
In 2000, the FCC considered whether to allow the LMDS license ownership restrictions to sunset or to extend the restrictions. Based on its analysis of the use to which the spectrum had been put, CPI supported removal of the restrictions. |
