Weekly FCC Spectrum Transactions
Since blog postings of our Weekly Spectrum Transaction Summary emails are behind a subscription wall, I am posting last week's summary to show the detailed information that will arrive at your inbox every Friday, covering both the Mobile Carrier (600MHz-2.5GHz) and Millimeter Wave (12.2GHz-47GHz) transactions filed the previous week.
FCC Transactions - October 17, 2018
In this week's FCC transactions we see 4 transaction themes. First, we see Cimaron Telephone / Cross Cable leasing an AWS3 license from Cross Telephone (a parent company). Second, we see GE MDS leasing 4 - 700MHz Guard band licenses across the South and Southwest. Third, we see a large filing from SpeedConnect providing them access to a varying number of channels on 35 call signs across the midwest, primarily in rural or low population areas. The owned BRS channels are involved in most of these transactions which is surprising because it is Sprint's premium spectrum holding in all of these markets. Most of these channels cover entire BTA market areas with contiguous spectrum. Fourth, we see T-Mobile leasing RigNet's 700MHz C band license covering the entire Gulf of Mexico. This will enable T-Mobile to build their LTE network for the oil platforms in the gulf.
