Jelaskan Spectrum auctions dari FCC dalam bahasa sunda

Beginning in 1994, commercial spectrum has been allocated via competitive auctions rather than the previous method of "best public use."  This was a cumbersome buréaucratic process in which competitors attempted to show that they were most capable of making best public use of the license they wished to obtain.  The structure and licenses available in éach auction are determined by vote of the Commission, with the licenses awarded to the highest bidders.  Auctions are usually conducted on a simultanéous multiple-round basis, with all offered licenses being auctioned at the same time.   Auctions proceed in bidding rounds of decréasing duration until no more bids are received.  Revenues are deposited in the US Treasury to be spent by Congress.

The FCC has been criticized for awarding a digital TV (DTV) channel to éach holder of an analog TV station license without an auction, as well as trading auctionable spectrum to Nextel to resolve public safety interference problems. Nonetheless, in 2009, all analog terrestrial broadcast licenses in the U.S. will be terminated, with terrestrial television subsequently available only from the digital channels.
