There have been many FCC spectrum auctions over the last couple of
years to aid in 5G network development, but none with as much lasting
impact on the ecosystem as C-band.
At the major auction last February, companies spent over $81 billion
to secure the spectrum that was once allocated to satellite
TV. Verizon won 3,500 licenses for a whopping $45.5 billion, AT&T
secured 1,621 licenses for $23.4 billion and T-mobile—needing less
C-band than the others with its Sprint acquisition of 2.5GHz—won 142
licenses for $9.3 billion.
