# Tom Cohen Quoted in *Communications Daily* Article on Minimum Geographic Bidding Areas

 February 27, 2020

 

 

 

 

 

 

Partner [Tom Cohen](https://www.kelleydrye.com/Our-People/Thomas-W-Cohen) was quoted in the *Communications Daily* article ​“Minimum Geographic Bidding Areas Could Cause Concerns After RDOF Procedures Vote”. The article discusses concerns surrounding proposed enlargement of the minimum geographic bidding areas by broadband industry stakeholders.

Tom, who represents America’s Communications Association, who opposes the increase, said it was for two reasons: ​“It would limit participation in the auction, and it would disadvantage” providers that want to deploy fiber. Tom sees the latter as counter to FCC’s goal of favoring higher performing networks.
