The document discusses best practices for assigning spectrum through auctions. It recommends that policy objectives should guide auction design and reserve prices. Auctions should promote an efficient assignment of spectrum by allocating it to those who value it most, while also considering policy goals like competition and coverage. The two main multi-round auction formats are the Simultaneous Multi-Round Ascending auction and the Combinatorial Clock Auction, which differ in their ability to support package bidding and avoid fragmentation risks.
