3G Auction Set For June 29
Feb 1, 2006, 3:19 PM by (staff)
The FCC has finally announced June 29 as the date for the 3G spectrum auction. The auction will consist of 1,122 licenses for spectrum pairs in the 1700 and 2100 MHz bands. One month ago, the NTIA finally approved the government clearing current services out of this spectrum, provided the auction could raise $935 million. Hurdles such as NTIA and other administrative or legal approvals have delayed FCC auctions in the past, and might still delay this auction, as small business discounts and other auction procedures are still under debate.

Auctions are fun and we will have to see who wins on June 29th
This is one of the best times in the wireless industry because it shows how much spending power a carrier has especially since it will need this spectrum to grow. We obviously know that t-mobile USA is in desperate need for this spectrum so I am sure they will be or try to be the front-runner in this auction, however, its competitors can spoil their shot by bidding and either making T-mobile USA overbid or not bid at all and they would have to wait for the FCC’s next 3g auction.
