In a statement the FCC said, more than one-third of the top 100 markets have at least four winning bidders, marking a broader ranger than a prior auction.
The broader range and distribution of winning bidders “will increase competition by providing a diversity of wireless carriers with the midband spectrum resources needed to maintain American leadership in 5G,” said the FCC.
“Enabling commercial use of this spectrum is important to America’s continuing economic recovery and 5G leadership,” said FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel.
