FCC should act quickly on point system to select among applicants for noncommercial educational broadcast licenses (MM 95-31), Media Access Project said in ex parte filing. Although participants may disagree on details of selection system, group said they all agreed decision was needed to allow Commission to begin eliminating backlog of mutually exclusive applications, some of which have been waiting nearly 6 years. Separate filing said freeze on new applications had added to problem, since many stations couldn’t apply for Commerce Dept. funding for upgrades.
