Examining Opposition to Straight Path–Verizon Spectrum Transfers
The FCC recently denied a request to block Straight Path from transferring certain spectrum licenses to Verizon (VZ). The CCA (Competitive Carriers Association) petitioned the FCC to review Verizon’s purchase of Straight Path’s 28 GHz and 39 GHz bands. The CCA is a trade group of smaller wireless carriers, and its members include T-Mobile (TMUS), Sprint (S), and United States Cellular (USM).
