So, the FCC’s at it again. Remember that big push a few years back when they auctioned off the lower C-Band, you know: the 3.7 to 3.98 chunk, for 5G? All the broadcasters grumbled, but most just retuned up a few MHz and called it a day. Easy fix, relatively speaking. Well, now they want to go after the rest of it. Specifically, the 3.98 to 4.2 GHz sliver that you and everyone else have been relying on to pull in network news, sports feeds, syndicated radio, emergency alerts, and everything in between.
Congress passed a law that doesn’t just allow another auction, it basically demands it. Within two years, at least 100 MHz of that upper slice needs to hit the auction block. So the clock’s ticking, and the FCC isn’t asking if they’ll reallocate. They’re deciding how much and how painful it’ll be.
