Tuning into Spectrum, Episode 3: C-Band Update
from Kelley Drye Full Spectrum · host Kelley Drye Communications Practice
Our "Tuning into Spectrum" series takes a close look at hot topics and issues in radio spectrum. Recently, in a letter to Senator Kennedy (R-LA), Chairman Pai stated that he intends to conduct a public auction of the 3.7-4.2 GHz spectrum range (commonly referred to as the C-Band) that would clear 280 megahertz for flexible use to be allocated by auction and allot 20 megahertz to a guard band. In this episode, Associate Avonne Bell and Partners Chip Yorkgitis and Josh Guyan discuss the issues that remain unresolved, including the impact on satellite operators and MVPDs, technical issues, a possible transition to fiber in some areas, and C-Band-related legislation. After this podcast was recorded, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai indicated his intention to include a C-band item on the agenda for the FCC’s next Open Meeting on February 28, 2020.
