1,070

Upfront payment $107,000

If a bidder wishes to bid on one block in both of the above PEAs in a round, it must have selected both PEAs on its FCC Form 175 and purchased at least 2,020 bidding units 1,070 + 950 of bidding eligibility. If a bidder only wishes to bid on a block in one of these PEAs, but not both, purchasing 1,070 bidding units would meet the eligibility requirement for a block in either PEA. The bidder would be able to bid on a block in either PEA, but not both at the same time. If the bidder purchased only 950 bidding units, the bidder would have enough eligibility to bid for a block in PEA064 but not for one in PEA058.

152. If an applicant is a former defaulter, it must calculate its upfront payment for the maximum amount of generic blocks in each PEA on which it plans to bid by multiplying the number of bidding units on which it wishes to be active by 1.5. In order to calculate the number of bidding units to assign to former defaulters, the Commission will calculate the number of bidding units a non-former defaulter would get for the upfront payment received, divide that number by 1.5, and round the result up to the nearest bidding unit. If a former defaulter fails to submit a sufficient upfront payment to establish eligibility to bid on at least one generic block in a PEA, the applicant will not be eligible to participate in Auction 110. The applicant, however, will retain its status as an applicant in Auction 110 and will remain subject to 47 CFR 1.2105c.

in the registration materials or the Auction Hotline at 717 3382868.
H. Remote Electronic Bidding via the FCC Auction Bidding System 156. Bidders will be able to participate in Auction 110 over the internet using the FCC Auction Bidding System bidding system. During the assignment phase only, bidders will have the option of placing bids by telephone through a dedicated auction bidder line. Please note that telephonic bid assistants are required to use a script when entering bids placed by telephone.
Telephonic bidders are therefore reminded to allow sufficient time to bid by placing their calls well in advance of the close of a round. The length of a call to place a telephonic bid may vary;
please allow a minimum of 10 minutes.
The toll-free telephone number for the auction bidder line will be provided to qualified bidders prior to the start of bidding in the auction.
157. Only qualified bidders are permitted to bid. Each authorized bidder must have his or her own SecurID token, which the Commission will provide at no charge. Each applicant will be issued three SecurID
tokens. A bidder cannot bid without his or her SecurID token. In order to access the bidding function of the bidding system, bidders must be logged in during the bidding round using the passcode generated by the SecurID
token and a personal identification number PIN created by the bidder.
Bidders are strongly encouraged to print a bid summary for each round after they have completed all their activity for that round. For security purposes, the SecurID tokens and a telephone number for bidding questions are only mailed to the contact person at the contact address listed on the FCC Form 175. Each SecurID token is tailored to a specific auction. SecurID tokens issued for other auctions or obtained from a source other than the FCC will not work for Auction 110. Please note that the SecurID tokens can be recycled, and the Commission requests that bidders return the tokens to the FCC. Pre-addressed envelopes will be

provided to return the tokens once the auction has ended.
158. The Commission makes no warranties whatsoever, and shall not be deemed to have made any warranties, with respect to the bidding system, including any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. In no event shall the Commission, or any of its officers, employees, or agents, be liable for any damages whatsoever including, but not limited to, loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of use, revenue, or business information, or any other direct, indirect, or consequential damages arising out of or relating to the existence, furnishing, functioning, or use of the bidding system. Moreover, no obligation or liability will arise out of the Commissions technical, programming, or other advice or service provided in connection with the bidding system.
159. To the extent an issue arises with the bidding system itself, the Commission will take all appropriate measures to resolve such issues quickly and equitably. Should an issue arise that is outside the bidding system or attributable to a bidder, including, but not limited to, a bidders hardware, software, or internet access problem that prevents the bidder from submitting a bid prior to the end of a round, the Commission shall have no obligation to resolve or remediate such an issue on behalf of the bidder. Similarly, if an issue arises due to bidder error using the bidding system, the Commission shall have no obligation to resolve or remediate such an issue on behalf of the bidder. Accordingly, after the close of a bidding round, the results of bid processing will not be altered absent evidence of any failure in the bidding system.
I. Mock Auction 160. All qualified bidders will be eligible to participate in a mock auction for the clock phase. Only those bidders that are qualified to participate in Auction 110 will be eligible to participate in the mock auction. The mock auction, which will begin on
