Arkansas Senator Mark Pryor reportedly called the 700 MHz spectrum auction a disaster yesterday at the National Association of Broadcasters’ State Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. Pryor, a member of the influential Senate Commerce Committee, was critical of FCC Chairman Kevin Martin’s leadership of the auction, saying that the FCC allowed telecom powerhouses such as Verizon and AT&T to “control” the auction. www.wirelessweek.com
