For Auction 92, the Bureau proposes to calculate minimum opening bid amounts on a license-by-license basis using a method that takes into consideration the amounts bid for the same licenses in Auction 73.21 Specifically, for each license the Bureau proposes to calculate the minimum opening bid amount as the greater of (1) the minimum opening bid amount for the same license in Auction 73, or (2) 10% of the highest bid amount received for the license in Auction 73. This approach makes it possible to establish somewhat higher minimum opening bids for licenses

The average population density for the United Telephone wire centers for which we grant Highland Cellular ETC designation is 19.5 persons per square mile and the average population density for United Telephone's remaining wire centers is 73.21 persons per square mile. We conclude, however, that it would not be in the public interest to designate Highland Cellular as an ETC in the study area of Verizon South.

KMC proposes a Class B AM facility, which may operate with a minimum power of 0.25 kilowatts up to a maximum of 50 kilowatts. 47 C.F.R. � 73.21(a)(2). KMC's proposed 5 kilowatt operation is within these limits and appears to provide the required coverage of the community of license. Moreover, AM radio frequencies are allocated on a demand basis, with applicants specifying the desired community and facilities that will provide the required level of service to that community while avoiding prohibited interference to other stations.

More importantly, Bear fails to provide a public interest rationale that overcomes WBT(FM)'s right under the Commission's Rules to interference-free nighttime service. Station WBT(AM), Charlotte, North Carolina, is a Class A station operating on a clear channel and is entitled to protection in its extended area of primary and secondary service. See 47 C.F.R. 73.21. The community of East Providence, Rhode Island, comes within WBT(AM)'s secondary service area. Bear's inability to obtain nighttime authority is due to the protection owed to WBT(AM) in that secondary service area. [20]See Footnote 20.
