A Framework for Telecommunication Auctions

Open access
In this study, we examine telecommunication auctions and develop a framework of U.S. satellite spectrum licensing, foreign reactions to U.S. decisions, business assessments of opportunities and the feedback to the FCC's policy. This framework views the international licensing process as a series of actions, reactions, and feedbacks. We recommend policy makers to use this framework as a guide. We also recommend future studies on telecommunication auctions to use this framework as their starting point.
