Abstract
In this Fourth Report and Order in the matter of Allocation of Spectrum Below 5 GHz Transferred from Federal Government Use 4660-4685 MHz, the Commission adopts its proposals to replace service-specific auction rules for the General Wireless Communications Service (GWCS) with the streamlined auction rules. (See Proposed Rules, 63 FR 770, January 7, 1998.) With regard to auction provisions for designated entities, we simplify the definition of ``small business,'' eliminate installment payments, and increase the bidding credit. These actions will enable the Commission to run a more efficient GWCS auction.
