FCC to Vote Oct. 29 on 25 MHz Mid-Band Auction for Terrestrial and Direct-to-Device Use

The Federal Communications Commission plans an Oct. 29 vote on whether to advance a proposed auction of 25 MHz in the 1675-1695 MHz and 2020-2025 MHz bands for flexible terrestrial, direct-to-device, or hybrid operations. Approval would start further rulemaking on band plans and technical rules, not finalize the auction.
