NEWS FCC primary status revoked on 125 channels inside 220MHz-222MHz band
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced it has revoked the federal government's primary status on 125 channels
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced it has revoked the federal government’s primary status on 125 channels inside the 220MHz-222MHz band, channels currently allocated equally to the federal government and to private users. NTIA Administrator Larry Irving said that relinquishing the government’s primary status will increase the spectrum’s auction value by allowing the private sector bidders to be the primary user. NTIA is also recommending that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopt a combinatorial approach to auction the 220MHz-222MHz band for commercial mobile services, allowing bidding on a package of licenses.
