As bidding for AWS spectrum cracks though the $4B mark, I like to look at the details to see where people aren’t bidding.
For example, the 10MHz ‘G’ band [1910-1915 MHz / 1990-1995 MHz] has attracted no bids in Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Northern Ontario. Not even an opening bid.
And almost all of the 5MHz ‘I’ band [1670-1675 MHz] remains in the government’s hands; the exception is Manitoba where MTS has bid half a million dollars for it. Will any equipment be available to operate in this orphaned band?
