Commericializing Educational Broadcast Spectrum - 2.5GHz May 26, 2020 00:00

Last week we saw the first applications filed at the FCC that transfer educational (2.5GHz) spectrum to commercial carriers.  These are the first applications received by the FCC that take advantage of the new rules that were released in the Transforming the 2.5GHz Band Report & Order.  Below are the details for the  Educational Spectrum transfers from our Spectrum Transaction Summary that was released last Friday.  Prior to this Report & Order, commercial carriers could only utilize the educational spectrum via a spectrum lease.
