Auction Support

AUCTION SUPPORT: The business planning, market analysis, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) filings, auction participation and auction monitoring necessary to be successful in an FCC sponsored spectrum auction.

Spectrum auctions are now routinely conducted by the Federal Communications Commission. Most new spectrum authorities have unique characteristics in terms of bandwidth, spectrum location and proposed use. All of these characteristics have a direct impact on the probable auction value of the spectrum. Many companies have participated in the FCC auctions, often with mixed results. Careful attention to the underlining value of a spectrum licenese authority can make the difference between a successful spectrum acquisition plan and a costly auction failure. Our paticipation in FCC spectrum auctions on behalf of private investor groups has resulted in the successful acquistion of fixed wireless license authorities. Our initial business planning, market assessment, auction strategy, auction monitoring and auction participation resulted in a successful spectrum auction for the investor group. Walters & Associates, Inc. can support your auction requirements by analyzing the potential for an entrepreneurial venture in a selected spectrum area, fulfilling pre-auction FCC filing requirements, preparing valuation documentation for potential investors and participating in the auction on your behalf.
