HR 3630, the payroll tax extension, passed the House by a vote of 293-132 and the Senate by a vote of 60-36. The measure now goes to President Obama for his signature. While the bill lets AT&T and Verizon bid on broadcast television spectrum given up voluntarily, the FCC will have flexibility to add terms and condition to spectrum obtained by the two largest carriers.
