MEDIA ADVISORY: FCC C-Band Auction on Schedule

MEDIA ADVISORY

The following statement may be attributed to Free State Foundation President Randolph May:

“FCC Chairman Ajit Pai should be commended, especially given the circumstances during this period of COVID-19 disruptions, for his announcement today that he is proposing procedures for conduct of the C-Band spectrum auction this December. Repurposing of this mid-band spectrum is critical if the U.S. is to maintain its leadership role in deployment of 5G wireless networks. Hopefully, the full Commission will adopt the auction procedures at its August meeting, so the auction can go forward in December.”
