FCC Chair says spectrum auction will make wireless faster, cheaper while raising billions for ...

The FCC voted to auction 160 megahertz of Upper C-Band spectrum by July 2027, consolidating fragmented C-Band allocations into a single 440 megahertz mid-band block (3.70–4.14 GHz) for terrestrial wireless. The auction is expected to raise $30–60 billion for the US Treasury while increasing spectrum availability for wireless providers to compete on speed and pricing.
