The FCC should auction AWS-3 spectrum in 5 MHz rather than 10 MHz blocks if it wants to encourage small carriers to bid in the auction, the Competitive Carriers Association said in a filing at the FCC. “Auction participants can aggregate larger spectrum channels by bidding on multiple 5 x 5 blocks, but ... smaller carriers may not be able to access these blocks on a 10 x 10 basis, particularly if larger geographic license sizes are used,” CCA said (http://bit.ly/1cC6X3W).
