The Incentive Auction Task Force and the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau announce the 114 MHz spectrum clearing target that has been set by the Auction System’s optimization procedure for the Stage 2 of the incentive auction. Under the band plan associated with this spectrum clearing target, 90 megahertz, or 9 paired blocks, of licensed spectrum will be offered in the forward auction on a near-nationwide basis. This corresponds to spectrum now occupied by TV Channels 32 and above.
Bidding in the clock rounds of Stage 2 of Auction 1001 (Reverse Auction) will begin on Tuesday, September 13, 2016.
