T-Mobile is asking the FCC to delay a vote on final rules for the proposed AWS-3 auction by another three months. The FCC is currently seeking public comment about another advanced wireless services auction. This one would require the winner to provide open access to a free wireless broadband service that includes filters to block adult content. T-Mobile says further testing needs to be done to ensure that there is no interference between the proposed spectrum to be auctioned and existing networks. Though FCC Chairman Kevin Martin has met with resistance, he has political backing that may entice him to move forward with the auction's rules as proposed. A final vote could take place as early as next month.
