FCC: New licensing scheme, C-Band and auction | Advanced Television

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you're building satellite hardware or LEO constellations, the FCC just cut your licensing wait from years to months - that's real runway acceleration you can announce to investors this quarter. If you're a wireless company or infrastructure play, 440 MHz of mid-band spectrum hits the market in 2027, with deployment starting end-2030: that's a known capex cycle and equipment roadmap window you can plan supply chains around now.
