Attorneys Discuss Reverse Auction Anti-Collusion Rules With Bureau Staff

A group of broadcast attorneys met Wednesday with members of the FCC Incentive Auction Task Force, Media Bureau, Wireless Bureau and the Office of General Counsel to discuss how anti-collusion rules will apply to attorneys representing TV stations in the reverse auction, according to an ex parte filing posted by the FCC Monday. The anti-collusion rules are expected to limit severely communications among attorneys representing TV stations, Communications Daily has reported. Wiley Rein's Kathleen Kirby, Fletcher Heald's Stephen Lovelady and Jack Goodman were the broadcast attorneys in the meeting.
