A supply aware of the deal stated that Rounds and Fischer obtained what they wished, particularly language within the invoice to guard the Pentagon’s use of prime spectrum frequencies for the complete size of the federal government public sale interval.
The deal preserves the Protection Division’s use of the “lower three” 3.1 to three.45 GHz band and seven.4 to eight.4 GHz, which might be exempted from normal public sale authority and the spectrum pipeline.
The wi-fi business obtained the restoration of public sale authority.
Trump on Friday slammed Biden for failing to succeed in a deal on spectrum auctions throughout his time period.
