T-Mobile, Comcast Big Winners in FCC Airwave Auction
- fencepost 10y agoThe article has one inaccuracy that I saw - it lists WTTO as the high-dollar item, but it's actuallly WWTO, "Trinity Christian Center of Santa Ana" it appears. I was suprised it wasn't WPWR-TV on RF channel 51 (adjacent to 700MHz block A/LTE band 12), but that one was only 160 million. Also of possible interest to Chicagoans, WYCC ("Your City Colleges") is also going to go off the air with its spectrum going for ~$16m. The list of stations and amounts is available from the FCC [1][2] [1] FCC Auctions page: http://wireless.fcc.gov/auctions/default.htm?job=auctions_home http://wireless.fcc.gov/auctions/default.htm?job=auctions_ho...
