FCC Auctions Off More Wireless Spectrum
Filed in archive Tech News Around The World by Shane McGlaun on July 17, 2006
The most aggressive bidder may well be T-Mobile, as without the increased spectrum they can't upgrade their networks to 3G like the other carriers. They also tend to be the carrier with the least services in the rural
areas of Texas where I live. Around here if you get off the highways, you have no T-Mobile service. Other major wireless carriers such as Verizon and Cingulair are also bidding. Information Week says that while the FCC hopes the new spectrum will be used for new services, that most bidders will likely use newly purchased spectrum to improve existing services.
