USA 5G Auction by FCC

The most recent FCC auction included 8,017 spectrum licenses located in rural regions. Of these 7,872 licenses, 7872 were awarded the highest bids. T-Mobile secured 7,156 licenses which accounted for 90.9 percent of all licenses offered. T-Mobile’s total expenditure of $304 million is next in line with PTI Pacifica ($17.6 million for nine licenses), TeleGuam Holding ($16.6 million for three licenses), Evergy Kansas Central ($12.7 million for 54 licenses) with Cellular South ($11.9 million for 38 licenses).

Overall, the 63 bidders who won paid around $428 million during the auction. It’s a far cry from what analysts in the industry anticipated. Analysts had estimated more than one billion, some even saying that the bid would exceed 5 billion ( via). However, that didn’t happen. The low level of participation in this auction was likely because most major carriers, such as Verizon, AT&T, and Dish Network, don’t operate extensively on the 2.5GHz Spectrum. They’ve already spent huge on auctions for other spectrums.
