AUCTION OF CELLULAR UNSERVED AREA LICENSES Mock Auction Scheduled for January 9, 1997 DA 97-11 January 3, 1997 Report No. AUC-96-12-E (Auction No. 12) The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will conduct a mock electronic auction on January 9, 1997 for the purpose of better acquainting cellular unserved area auction qualified bidders with the electronic bidding software and process. This mock auction will be open only to cellular unserved area auction qualified bidders who are eligible to bid electronically as a result of submitting or resubmitting their FCC Form 175 shortform applications electronically. Pre-registration will not be required. This auction will include A and B block cellular unserved area licenses in five markets (R317, R319, R323, R336, R341, a total of 10 licenses), and will follow the rules governing the cellular unserved area auction. The program will assume that each bidder applied for all 10 licenses and submitted upfront payments of $50,000 corresponding to 50,000 bidding units. The auction will simulate the start of Stage I, so bidders will be required to be active on at least 80 percent of their bidding units, or else face a reduction in bidding eligibility. The mock auction will consist of two rounds, with the following schedule (all times refer to the Eastern time zone): establish a PPP connection to the FCC Auction Network through either a 202-area-code number or a 900 number, as selected through the mock auction software. (The FCC encourages participants to test their ability to connect using the 900 number, in order to identify any potential problems such as a 900-number telephone block. There will be no access charge for the first minute of the 900number connection time.) When participants establish the PPP connection and start the Mock Bid Submission/Withdrawal system, they will register for the mock auction by entering their FCC account numbers. The login names, login passwords, and Bidder Identification Numbers (BINs) will be pre-filled. (Pre-filled codes are for the mock auction only. For the actual cellular unserved area auction, valid login codes and BINS will be mailed to qualified bidders with their registration materials.) The auction identification for the mock auction is 72. Remote bidding software for the mock auction will be available via the FCC's Internet and Bulletin Board System beginning Tuesday, January 7, 1997. See Attachment A. This software is specifically designed for this simulation, and is not adaptable to any FCC spectrum auctions. As part of the software, the Commission has established a suggestion box, and welcomes your comments regarding the software. For additional information regarding this public notice, please contact the FCC Auctions Technical Support Hotline, at 202-414-1250. - FCC INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING THE FCC MOCK AUCTION BIDDING SYSTEM Those applicants who wish to participate in the FCC Mock Auction will need at a minimum the following hardware and software: Hardware Requirements: CPU: Intel 80486 or above RAM: 8MB RAM (more recommended if you have multiple applications open) Hard Disk: 12MB available disk space Modem: v.32bis 14.4kbps Hayes compatible modem Monitor: VGA or above Mouse or other pointing device To create backup installation disks for the FCC Mock Auction Bidding System. you will need the following: 1.44MB 3.5" Floppy Drive Three (3) blank MS-DOS formatted 1.44MB floppy disks Software Requirements: FCC Mock Auction Bidding System (available through the Internet and the FCC Microsoft Windows 3.1 or Microsoft Windows for Workgroups v3.11 in an Note: The FCC Mock Auction Bidding System has not been tested in a Macintosh, OS/2, or Windows95 environment.
