AGENDA
Together with its restoration of the Federal Communications Commission’s auction authority in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Congress tasked the Federal Communications Commission with “completing a system of competitive bidding” for “not less than 100 megahertz in the band between 3.98 gigahertz and 4.2 gigahertz” (the Upper C-band). The Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on November 21, 2025, to satisfy its mandate from Congress, seeking input on questions including how much spectrum to make available for auction, how to successfully transition incumbent operations as necessary, and how to support successful coexistence between the new operations and radio altimeters in adjacent frequencies. Stakeholders and government panelists will discuss the work being done to answer those questions and more.
Speakers:
Arpan Sura, Senior Counsel and Chief AI Officer for FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.
