Sec. 90.803  Competitive bidding mechanisms.

    (a) Sequencing. The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau will 
establish and may vary the sequence in which 900 MHz SMR licenses will 
be auctioned.
    (b) Grouping. All 900 MHz SMR licenses for each of the MTAs will be 
auctioned simultaneously, unless the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau 
announces, by Public Notice prior to the auction, an alternative auction 
scheme.
    (c) Minimum bid increments. The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau 
will, by announcement before or during an auction, require minimum bid 
increments in dollar or percentage terms.
    (d) Stopping rules. The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau will 
establish stopping rules before or during multiple round auctions in 
order to terminate an auction within a reasonable time.
    (e) Activity rules. The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau will 
establish activity rules which require a minimum amount of bidding 
activity. In the event that the Commission establishes an activity rule 
in connection with a simultaneous multiple round auction, each bidder 
will be entitled to request and will be automatically granted a certain 
number of waivers of such rule during the auction.
