The wireless industry now has a proposed date for when the licensed portion of the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Services (CBRS) band goes up for auction: June 25, 2020.
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai announced in a blog post on Wednesday that the full commission will vote at its September 26 meeting to seek comment on draft procedures for an auction of the 70 MHz of spectrum that will be licensed. The unlicensed portion of the band, dubbed General Authorized Access (GAA), is expected to start hosting commercial services beginning this month.
