On the heels of a millimeter wave auction which featured the largest amount of spectrum ever put forth for auction in the U.S., the next Federal Communications Commission auction is chasing a different superlative: the most licenses offered in a single auction.
There weren’t many surprises in the details, but the Federal Communications Commission has officially set forth the rules by which companies must play in order to bid on the 22,631 available Priority Access Licenses in the Citizens Broadband Radio Service spectrum at 3.5 GHz. That figure breaks down to up to seven PALs per county-based license area.
