Kudos to President Trump’s FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, who recently completed the first successful spectrum auction in years.
Showing no signs of slowing down, Carr has already announced another massive spectrum auction that marked a huge win for taxpayers and internet users. The auction already delivered some 200 additional spectrum licenses to the private sector, and $3.57 billion in new revenue flowing to the U.S. Treasury. Next up will be the Upper C Band auction, in which FCC plans to auction 160 MHz of spectrum in the 3.98 to 4.14 GHz frequency range. Critical mid-band spectrum to enable continued U.S. leadership in 5G and soon 6G.
