The second issue, which dwarfs the first one, is whether there will be competition in the wireless Internet market - not only against other wireless companies - but against DSL and cable broadband providers who currently dominate the market. This stagnant market has resulted in higher prices and slower speeds of American broadband compared to the world's leading nations.
Congress - and more than a quarter-million citizens who filed comments - asked the FCC to address the second issue and inject much-needed competition into the broadband marketplace. The FCC said it would use the spectrum auction to deliver a so-called "third pipe", a wireless broadband product to compete head-to-head with DSL and cable services. A proposal put before the FCC by a group of consumer organisations and technology companies would have helped make the " third pipe " a reality.
They suggested that the FCC auction one big, national license to a wholesale provider that would exist solely to build a nationwide network - a model commonly known as wholesale "open access".

He said Scripps expects their stations to demonstrate that their brand and their reporters have deep ties to the communities they serve.
He and Ermish, the station GM, gave the example of a recent one-day fundraising campaign for the Utah Food Bank, held in conjunction with Fox 13's sister-stations across the country. When asked about Nexstar, Wirth said he wasn't in a position to comment on whether the company is atypically frugal, since he works part time for ABC4. But he added that in more than 50 years working in the broadcast industry, he's never been more pleased with a station owner.
Al Tompkins, a Poynter Institute faculty member and career journalist, said much of the recent activity in media ownership was motivated by the election cycle, with broadcast groups aiming to solidify their market positions ahead of an influx of political advertisements. He said bargaining power with advertisers and cable syndication is one of the advantages of size, as is the potential for young reporters to shine in small ponds and work their way to larger markets, similar to a baseball farm team.
The real question with ownership, Tompkins said, is whether local stations are allowed to uniquely serve their communities. Big owner or small owner, he said, the broadcast license carries an explicit responsibility to the public.

The start of broadcasting in Europe in the s soon led to interference between radio stations whose number and power increased rapidly every day.
