T-Mobile representatives met with FCC Wireless acting Bureau Chief Roger Sherman and others from the bureau to press for spectrum aggregation limits in the TV incentive auction. “The participants observed that low-band spectrum has superior in-building penetration and propagation characteristics than other spectrum,” said a filing on the meeting (http://bit.ly/19fjBEg). “Low-band spectrum is necessary to compete in the wireless marketplace and AT&T and Verizon currently control the vast majority of low-band spectrum.” T-Mobile said Verizon Wireless and AT&T hold 86 percent of commercial spectrum below 1 GHz in the top 10 U.S. markets and more than 80 percent in the top 50 markets.
