Ottawa seeks advice on wireless spectrum auction
OTTAWA — Senior policy makers in charge of telecommunications policy said they have "no preconceived notions" as to how a pending auction of wireless spectrum will unfold. "The government has not made up its mind," Michael Binder, assistant deputy minister at Industry Canada, told telecom executives at a wireless conference on Monday. "We want to get the policy advice, analysis and evidence on the public record." Today's conference deals with the pending auction of wireless spectrum, or the radio frequency needed to operate a cellphone network. Already, a fierce lobbying battle is underway between the incumbent wireless carriers, who want an auction with as few rules as possible, and potential new entrants such as Quebecor Inc., who are pushing for spectrum to be set aside for new
entrants in the field.
