Tom Wheeler, the new FCC Chairman, has decided to sidestep the recent problems encountered with the rollout of the Healthcare.gov site and defer the TV spectrum auction to mid-2015 until all possible avenues of failure have been addressed and a test auction is held.
Wheeler said the FCC and stakeholders must "exhaustively test the operating systems and the software necessary to conduct the world's first-of-a kind incentive auction. This includes ensuring that such systems are user-friendly to both broadcasters and wireless carriers who will participate."
