Together with the _Ad Hoc_ Public Interest Spectrum Coalition (PISC), MAP filed comments recommending the Commission take steps to ensure new spectrum offerings promote competition in the wireless market and provide consumers with a viable broadband alternative to wireline access such as DSL and cable. The policy recommendations of the PISC include:

* _Anonymous Bidding_: Anonymous bidding in spectrum auctions will prevent bidders from using signaling and blocking techniques to deter new entrants.

* _Build-Out Requirements_: “Use or lose” requirements will help to prevent license holders from leaving rural areas un-served and intentionally warehousing spectrum to prevent competition.

* _Open Access_: At least 30 MHz of spectrum licenses in the upcoming 700 MHz auction should include commitments to make wholesale service available to any provider, allowing new entrants an opportunity to enter the market.

* _Net Neutrality_: Licensees of the 60 MHz spectrum must be required to carry all Internet and voice traffic without privilege, degradation, or preference, and they must permit consumers to use any non-interfering wireless equipment.
