that is all over the syracuse of the spectrum. if i turn to channel 20 right now and have someone using channel 21 in washington, d.c., i will interfere with someone trying to watch to 20channel 20. you cannot talk about spectrum use in a vacuum. it is ultimately a consumer issue. you have to look it with the equipment is out there, how is the auction, and how it is operating. the idea of more efficiency has to be examined. nothing is more efficient if the net result is that the equipment does not work because of interference. we can get into the engineering aspect of that, but it is a consideration that is often overlooked in these discussions. >> this is "the communicators" on c-span. we're talking about the broadcast spectrum, what is, in the best way to manage it. our guests are members of the spectrum advisory committee. michael calabrese is also the director of the wireless future program at the new america foundation. he is a lawyer. mr. donovan is also a lawyer and president of the association for maximum service televisio

drew storen has already moved up to syracuse. on friday, masn will carry his first start at aaa. -- reasonically against the braves aaa ball club from gwyneth. guzman rolls it left side for chipper joans, and no chance for a relay. prado takes it for the first out. braves defensively are having a rough time. they've made 23 errors. only the marlins with 24 have made more, as rob said, chipper is ailing. troy glaus was the third baseman most of his career. and they are without yunel escobar, and we are told that jason heyward is a good outfielder, a plus arm, but not the same arm they had out there with jeff francoeur. over time, that could change. here is zimmerman. so the nats didn't move the runner, morgan. nyjer didn't show any desire to try to steal. guzman bounced into the fielder's choice. here is zimmerman hitting .370 with 13 rbis. that number may not stagger you, bit he has only played in 17 games, and some of those he's only had one at bat as a pinch hitter. big breaking ball. if he could have waited a little bit longer
