Two dozen telecoms companies and industry organisations called on regulators and other stakeholders to reserve mid-band spectrum for ITM use, especially for 5G.
France’s auction of mid-band spectrum for 5G services ended almost before it had begun this week, with all four operators acquiring similar amounts of spectrum for broadly sensible prices.
Verizon topped the spending table in the FCC’s recently-concluded 3.5-GHz auction, splurging nearly $1.9 billion on 557 spectrum licences in 157 locations.
The auction of 3.5 GHz spectrum in the US has closed, raising a total of $4.59 billion and raising expectations that the country’s next 5G sale could bring in almost 10 times as much.
Despite many proclamations and posturing during the development years of 5G, mmWave is not living up to expectations, but securing valuable mid-band assets is becoming an increasingly complex project.
With 5G falling flat in the US, it appears Verizon is taking matters into its own hands with an application to the FCC to experiment with mid-band spectrum, specifically, 3.7-3.8 GHz.
A chunk of mid-band spectrum was due to be auctioned-off in New Zealand around now, but COVID-19 has caused a change of plan.
The US Federal Communications Commission is delaying an imminent spectrum auction by a month coz of coronavirus.
The US telecoms regulator wants satellite companies to hand over 300 MHz of C-band spectrum, but the question of how compensation remains unresolved.
