Sec. 24.302  Competitive bidding design for narrowband PSC licensing.

    (a) The Commission will employ the following competitive bidding 
designs when choosing from among mutually exclusive initial applications 
to provide narrowband PCS service:
    (1) Single round sealed bid auctions (either sequential or 
simultaneous);
    (2) Sequential oral auctions;
    (3) Simultaneous multiple round auctions.
    (b) The Commission may design and test alternative procedures. The 
Commission will announce by Public Notice before each auction the 
competitive bidding design to be employed in a particular auction.
    (c) The Commission may use combinatorial bidding, which would allow 
bidders to submit all or nothing bids on combinations of licenses, in 
addition to bids on individual licenses. The Commission may require that 
to be declared the high bid, a combinatorial bid must exceed the sum of 
the individual bids by a specified amount. Combinatorial bidding may be 
used with any type of auction design.
    (d) The Commission may use single combined auctions, which combine 
bidding for two or more substitutable licenses and award licenses to the 
highest bidders until the available licenses are exhausted. This 
technique may be used in conjunction with any type of auction.
