With respect to auctions, SBE Council believes an open, market-based auction will yield better results for the private sector, small businesses, the federal government (in terms of revenues), investment and job creation. SBE Council also supports efforts to accelerate our nation to next generation high-speed internet protocol (IP) broadband networks and continues to voice our support to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for moving forward quickly on their plan.
