The C-Band Alliance (CBA) used a letter to Senator John Kennedy, the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, and to Christopher Coons, a ranking member of the same committee. The letter was ostensibly to correct some misstatements made by two influential organisations.
One “misrepresentation” came from David Williams of the Taxpayers Protection Alliance who in his written submission to the Senate committee said that the CBA had no plan or guarantee that US taxpayers would benefit from a private (CBA-organised) auction of spectrum.
Not so, insisted the CBA. “The CBA has repeatedly and consistently committed to return a share of any transaction to the public as part of the implementation of its proposal. The CBA has been clear about this point, and we do not waiver from it.”
