7 - Careful Scrutiny in Models That Recognize the Uncertainty Faced by Bidders - 7 - careful scrutiny in models that recognize the uncertainty faced by bidders. For instance, suppose that combinatorial bidding takes the form of a single round of sealed bids that are made prior to the single-MTA auctions. In the presence of uncertainty about other bidders' true economic valuations, bidders for national licenses could be expected to shade their sealed bids below their true economic values, lessening any bias toward allocating spectrum to national bidders rather than single-license bidders. t--- TABLE 1 THE BIDDERS· TRUE VAlUATIONS: A CASE WHERE LICENSE AGGREGATION IS EFFICIENT Ecol'lOll1c Value EConeII1c Value of Mlstern of Eastern Econo-1c Value of Bidder Reg'on Alone Region Alone HattoRI.1 L1 cense N 14 0 14 E 0 lS 15 N 12 12 30 ~---- TABLE 2 THE NATIONAL BIDDERS l BELIEFS Econolll'c Value Econoa'c Value of Mestern of Eastern Econal" Value of Bidder L1kel1hood Reqlon Alone Region Alone Nattonal License W 501 14 0 14 501 16 0 16 E sat. 0 15 15 SOt 0 17 17 N 10M 12 12 30 r----- TABlE 3 THE BIDDERS· TRUE VAUUATIONS: A CASE WHERE INDIVIDUAL LICENSES ARE EFFICIENT ECOOOlllc Value Econo-t c Va 1ue of Mestern of Eastern EcooOlllc Value of B1dder Reg10n Alone Rea'on Alone Nat1 0nal Ltc.Rs.

  • Wireless Telecommunications in Local Markets: Policies for Inclusion
    NRRI 97-13 WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS IN LOCAL MARKETS: POLICIES FOR INCLUSION by Vivian Witkind Davis, Ph.D. Senior Policy Analyst Michael E. Clements Graduate Research Associate June 1997 This paper is one of a series of NRRI analyses of issues in state telecommunications policy that derive from passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The views and opinions expressed herein are those of the authors. They are not necessarily those of The National Regulatory Research Institute, the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC), or any NARUC member commissions. WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS IN LOCAL MARKETS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the “telewars”1 now being fought in the states and at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the weapons are logic and persuasion. Each player is certain to argue that “all players are equal” when it suits them and that “some players are more equal than other” when it would benefit employees, stockholders and their own view of public concerns. Policy makers in this environment have the difficult task of making decisions that treat players alike or unalike as appropriate to meet ambitious, amorphous goals of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Wireless telecommunications has been well nurtured by U.S. policy. The very success of this encouragement calls for assuring that as wireless telecommunications becomes a true alternative to wireline, wireless providers have appropriate rights and obligations. Providers of wireless services will be powerful participants in building an intermeshed “network of networks” where all companies and technologies can compete fairly. Just like landline service through the public switched network, wireless offers voice and data communications, but with a valuable extra selling point—mobility.

CONCLUSIONS (1) The proposed acquisition should not by itself adversely affect competition in the markets for telephone long distance or cellular local or regional services.
