Spectrum Summary - July 27, 2018

This week's FCC transactions start with the assignment of all Joseph Sofio's AWS3 licenses to Blue Ridge Wireless.  This appears to be related to corporate structuring.  Joseph only recently received these AWS3 licenses.  The next transaction assigns an EBS license from one educational entity (West Central Illinois Education Telecom) to another (Southern Illinois University).  This spectrum will continue to be subleased to Sprint.  Verizon has executed 3 assignments with ATNI to receive one full license and two partial licenses in Texas, Alabama, and Nevada.  In return, ATNI is receiving a partial license in New Mexico.  Also in the assignments, Sprint is purchasing a BRS license in Hawaii, and the Detroit School District is assigning one of their licenses to another affiliated entity.  In Guam, Sprint is receiving access to a paired 1.25MHz of SMR spectrum from Choice Wireless.  Cherry Capital is leasing the 700MHz Guard Band from BPS Spectrum in 9 Michigan counties.  Rounding through the last transactions, Sprint initiated two new leases, one in Idaho and one in San Diego, CA.  They were already leasing the San Diego license and the Idaho license is another SpeedConnect takeover.  Finally, Crystal Automation is leasing two EBS channels in two Michigan counties.
