Each entity can only get 3 licenses, 50 MHz has to remain unlicensed. Ken, I know you've seen the WISPA discussions on this.
I don't expect to see this significantly in use outside of venues... small cell stuff. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Hohhof" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2015 12:26:50 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] CBRS license cost That's kind of disappointing. Do you know what mechanisms they plan on putting in place to keep the big carriers from just snapping it all up and warehousing it? I guess that would still mean we could use it as general access as long as they are just squatting on it and not deploying anything in our census tracts, but I have to suspect the cost to outbid us on every license would not be a show stopper for companies used to bidding billions on spectrum auctions. Making the PALs specific to census tract and year might discourage it a little. It says licensees will be able to aggregate across time, frequency, geography, I wonder how many years out they will let you bid on. And whether current licensee gets first right of refusal on extending the time. If everything gets re-auctioned in a year or two, that might discourage bidding on spectrum if you don't intend to use it. -----Original Message----- From: Gino Villarini Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2015 11:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] CBRS license cost Its going to auction Gino A.
