BellSouth, the second-largest owner of 2.5GHz spectrum in the U.S.,
controls spectrum in most of the 50 largest markets, according to
published reports. It also has substantial 2.3GHz spectrum (acquired in
auctions in 1997). SBC Communications also gained a large amount of
2.3GHz spectrum when it acquired AT&T. According to publicly available
information, neither company has yet developed any of the spectrum into
a commercial line of business; rather, the spectrum is effectively
warehoused at present. (However, BellSouth has deployed test broadband
service in nine in-region markets using its 2.3GHz spectrum, and it
announced in March that it would use the 2.3GHz spectrum to provide
"backup" broadband

for its wireline broadband service.)
