WISPs Continue Push for FCC to Preserve CBRS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11, 2025 – Wireless ISPs are continuing a push to discourage the Federal Communications Commission from altering a shared spectrum band they rely on.

More than 30 WISPs have submitted letters to the agency this month asking it not to sell off part of the 3.55-3.7 GigaHertz (GHz) Citizens Broadband Radio Service band, or raise power levels.

There has been consistent advocacy on the issue since Congress passed budget legislation in July that directed the agency to sell 300 megahertz of likely non-federal spectrum, while at the same time killing a carve-out that would have blocked a sale of CBRS airwaves. That led some to fear the FCC might consider auctioning some CBRS airwaves.
