Pai indicated that the new framework, which eliminates existing eligibility and use requirements and lease restrictions, will give incumbent users more flexibility in how to use the spectrum. Educators that hold licenses could for example opt to use the spectrum for enhanced services or decide to transfer licenses to another entity and invest funding in their community.The proposal also provides a local priority filing window for rural Tribal Nations to gain access to the mid-band spectrum for mobile wireless service. After the priority window, the FCC would conduct an auction for remaining “white spaces” of unused 2.5 GHz spectrum, which currently cover half of the geographic United States.The move to free up more mid-band spectrum is part of the FCC’s ongoing effort to advance and accelerate 5G deployments in the U.S. In early June, the FCC released winners of the agency’s first two high-band millimeter wave spectrum auctions, which together raised more than $2.7 billion in proceeds. -- ???????? | |||
