WASHINGTON (AP) - A majority of the Federal Communications Commission is in favor of a measure that will allow for the quick release of the names of the winners of a record airwaves auction.
The identity of the anonymous bidders in the $19.6 billion auction could be released early next week or perhaps as soon as Friday, according to an FCC official who asked not to be named because the vote was not official.
While the auction set a record, the news was not all good. One portion of the spectrum that was dedicated to the creation of a nationwide emergency communications network failed to attract a winning bid.
