FCC to Vote on Upper C-band Auction Rules in July
The agency is set to sell off 160 megahertz in the band
WASHINGTON, June 30, 2026 – The Federal Communications Commission is set to vote next month on rules for its spectrum auction in the upper C-band, the agency announced Tuesday.
The agency will sell off 160 megahertz in the band, and winning bidders will be able to light up the airwaves starting in December 2030 in the top 75 markets, which FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said was “years ahead of where a lot of people were thinking the timeline was going to land.”
