Dear Senator Alexander:
Thank you for your letter urging the Commission to conduct its proceeding to implement
the incentive auction of broadcast television spectrum in an open and transparent manner. I
appreciate the hard work of Congress to establish this significant new tool in spectrum policy.
Your concerns about the future of free over-the-air television are very important, and your
correspondence will be included in the record of the proceeding for Commission consideration.
The Commission's work in its incentive auction proceeding is guided by a set of core
goals and principles that include maximizing broadcaster participation by, among other things,
making the auction process as transparent and easy-to-understand as possible. The broadcaster
LEARN program, which is underway already, is designed specifically to reach out to educate,
and to solicit substanti ve input from broadcasters on all aspects of the incentive auction.
I appreciate your interest in this matter and will keep you apprised of the Commission's
progress. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
