Service providers and CBRS: Where’s the Opportunity?

Start Date:5/18/2020

Start Time:11:00 AM EDT

Duration:75 minutes

Abstract:

Mid-band spectrum is like a treasure in the United States, where there isn’t enough of it and everybody wants it. That’s why the big wireless carriers, some cable companies, and even some smaller wireless players have all indicated that they’re interested in participating in the CBRS auctions in July. What are the parameters for the spectrum auctions? What might cable companies do with the spectrum in terms of their MVNO arrangements? How will the big and small wirelesscarriers use the spectrum? Will service providers join in the fray to build private wireless networks?
