Aviation Orgs, Lawmaker Protest FCC 5G Auction
The FCC is set to kick off the auction of a portion of the spectrum near aviation bands, stirring protests from the aviation community and Capitol Hill.

Despite protests from a cross-section of industry organizations and a key lawmaker, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission Tuesday kicked off its largest mid-band 5G spectrum auction to date, offering 5,684 flexible-use overlay licenses for 280 megahertz of mid-band spectrum in the 3.7-3.98 GHz band near the 4.2-4.4 GHz band used by aviation.
