We examine a wide range of options in light of these goals. We believe that the leading options are:
* auctioning the digital interleaved spectrum as proposed in the DDR but with a longer transition period during which the PMSE sector would have guaranteed access; this auction might involve a pre-qualification process designed to ensure that bidders have the skills and expertise to manage the spectrum efficiently, for PMSE use in particular; and
* awarding the digital interleaved spectrum by beauty contest, with criteria designed to ensure a good alignment between the interests of the winner and the PMSE sector; there would also be pricing and incentives to promote efficient use.
