Verizon, Dish, Cable Companies Lead CBRS License Wins

Verizon was the biggest buyer of Citizens Broadband Radio Service 3.5-GHz Priority Access Licenses, with Dish Network, Comcast, Charter Communications and Cox Communications also among the biggest winners. 


AT&T, on the other hand, did not bid. That likely means AT&T is waiting for the C-band spectrum auction in just a few months. 


Verizon spent $1.9 billion on 557 licenses, while Dish Network (participating as Wetterhorn Wireless) shelled out $912.9 million for 5,492 licenses. 


Charter Communications (Spectrum Wireless Holdings) bid $464.2 million on 210 licenses; Comcast (XF Wireless Investment) $458.7 million for 830; and Cox Communications $212.8 million on 470 licenses. 


The FCC in December 2020 plans to begin auctioning off 280 MHz of C-band spectrum.
