| Subject: It isn't 'theirs' to auction off: FCC ends wireless auction with $19.6B in bids Fri Feb 10, 2017 8:16 pm | |
| The Federal Communications Commission said Friday that the bidding phase of the agency's first-ever auction of wireless spectrum had closed, with bids totaling $19.6 billion. In a statement, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai offered "congratulations to the winners."
"The participation of these broadcasters and wireless carriers will enable the Commission to release 84 megahertz of spectrum into the broadband marketplace," he added. "These low-band airwaves will improve wireless coverage across the country and will play a particularly important role in deploying mobile broadband services in rural areas."
