Re: "what does AITP stand for" Jim, Thanks for the post re: the AITP meeting. Just one thing, what does AITP stand for and "who should attend"( as they say in the promotional literature ). BTW, Fridays close sure looked good to me... Regards, Ed...... ATIP The Association of Information Technology Professionals AITP was formerly known as DPMA, and is an association of information professionals created to promote education in data processing and to encourage the free exchange of ideas among its members. The Philadelphia chapter follows this tradition by providing meetings, seminars, and other events designed to allow members and guests an opportunity for continuing education about various technical and management topics in the data processing industry. In addition, this chapter provides activities through which members can expand their career choices through development and personal networking. AITP and this chapter have provided almost 40 years of service to the community under the name of DPMA. We hope to continue this tradition as AITP. We sincerely hope that you will join with us as we move forward into a new millennium and continue the information age." libertynet.org Ed, Friday's close did look good, perhaps the momentum will continue on Monday. I hope John Walber (VP CVUS) chooses his words carefully, when he speaks in Philly on the 20th. IV. Anti-collusion Rule Issues. Q: What conduct constitutes a violation of the Commission's anti-collusion rule? A: After the deadline for submission of the FCC Form 175, applicants may not discuss the substance of their bids or bidding strategies with other bidders that have applied to bid in the same geographic license areas, with the exception of those with which they have entered into agreements identified on the FCC Form 175. The term "applicant" includes the entity that submits an application for auction participation, owners of five percent or more of that entity, and all officers and directors of that entity. The rule also prohibits the transfer of indirect information which affects, or could affect, bids or bidding strategy. All bidding arrangements must be disclosed on an applicant's short form application. Auction applicants who have applied for licenses in the same geographic areas, and who are also licensees or applicants for licenses in the same or competing services, must affirmatively avoid all communications with each other that affect, or have the potential to affect, their bids or bidding strategy. This does not mean that all business negotiations between bidders for the same markets are prohibited; however, the Bureau recommends that bidders for the same markets exercise caution when engaging in such discussions. Q: Do public statements such as "we want to win 10 million pops" or "we want to win top markets" or "we have $5 million to spend" constitute disclosures of bids or bidding strategy? A: Public statements can give rise to collusion concerns. This has occurred in the antitrust context, where certain public statements can support other evidence which tends to indicate the existence of a conspiracy. The Bureau therefore urges bidders for common markets to exercise caution when making public statements about their bids or bidding strategies. fcc.gov Have a great week Ed, and try to stay warm.
