The identified spectrum must be auctioned within four and eight years
What the document says“Not later than 4 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the Commission shall, after notifying the Assistant Secretary, complete 1 or more systems of competitive bidding for not less than 200 megahertz of the frequencies.”
The section requires the Commission to auction the identified frequencies on a set timetable: at least 200 megahertz within four years of enactment, and any remaining identified frequencies within eight years, in each case after notifying the Assistant Secretary.
What the document actually says“Not later than 4 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the Commission shall, after notifying the Assistant Secretary, complete 1 or more systems of competitive bidding for not less than 200 megahertz of the frequencies.”
The Commission must finish an auction within four years. It must cover at least 200 megahertz. It must tell the Assistant Secretary first.
The rest must be sold within eight years. Both deadlines run from the day this law passed. The same notice rule applies to each.
