The Federal Communications Commission is currently considering a rule change that would alter how it doles out licenses for wireless spectrum.
These changes would make it easier and more affordable for Big Telecom to scoop up licenses, while making it almost impossible for small, local wireless ISPs to compete.
The Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum is the rather earnest name for a chunk of spectrum that the federal government licenses out to businesses.
It covers 3550-3700 MHz, which is considered a “midband” spectrum.
And because it’s licensed spectrum, wireless ISPs would be able to broadcast at a higher power.
The CBRS spectrum was designed for Navy radar, and when it was opened up for auction, the traditional model favored Big Telecom cell phone service providers.
Just as these changes were being finalized this past fall, Trump’s FCC proposed going back to the old method. »
