Many of us associate “C-band” spectrum with satellite communications, but regulators in many countries now are repurposing that spectrum for 5G mobile uses. Since 2015 the Global Mobile Suppliers Association has identified 23 countries that have auctioned or allocated C-Band spectrum for mobile broadband.
Auctions and allocations of C-Band spectrum (3300–4200 MHz) historically been made available around the world for fixed wireless services using legacy technologies, or has been allocated for satellite or government/military use.
Spectrum fees paid range from USD$0.002 per MHz per Pop (per person) (Slovakia, Norway and Romania) to USD$0.424 per MHz per Pop in Italy, it has been estimated.
U.S. market reallocation also is coming.
