First 700 MHz Winner: AT&T
at&t is the first winner of the battle to win 700 MHz wireless spectrum. Not, of course, because it has won anything in the upcoming auctions for C block and other spectrum. Instead, at&t is acquiring $2.5 billion worth of wireless spectrum licenses covering 196 million people in the 700 MHz frequency from Aloha Partners.
The 12 MHz of spectrum covers all of the top-10 U.S, wireless market and 72 of the top 100 markets overall.
