corey bennett is with the hill, he covers cybersecurity there. kate tummarello works for politico and covers technology, and lydia beyoud is with bloomberg bna. lydia, one of the big issues coming up are the spectrum auctions in march. what can we expect? >> guest: march 29th is the official kickoff date for broadcasters to relinquish some of their spectrum. they'll be looking to either go out of business or possibly enter into channel-sharing agreements with their colleagues, and a few months after that potentially that'll wrap up, and we'll see the wireless bidder side start, and we're looking at other potential bidders as well such as comcast announced today they might also be bidding for some of that broadcast spectrum. so it'll be several months of close attention on the fcc and its auction. >> host: and you say several months, so most of 2016 we'll be talking about the spectrum auctions or looking at it? >> guest: fcc officials have said they're looking at the auction closing sometime in the third quarter this year. >> host: closing in the
