All five FCC commissioners have been scheduled to testify at the House Energy and Commerce committee's Dec. 12 hearing on the status of the FCC's implementation of spectrum incentive auctions.

It will make a for a busy day for the commissioners, who have a long-standing public meeting scheduled for the date with at least three items to vote -- though they could be pulled if they were voted beforehand.

The FCC meeting has been moved to the afternoon from its customary morning start to accommodate the House hearing, which is scheduled for 10 a.m. and was officially announced by the subcommittee Tuesday.
