The FCC sought comment Wednesday on Verizon’s proposed buy of seven personal communication service (PCS) licenses for Hawaii from Coral Wireless. “Coral would lease back spectrum from Verizon Wireless for up to 12 months after consummation of the proposed transaction, the Applicants say, for purposes of avoiding service interruptions to Coral’s customers,” said an agency public notice (http://bit.ly/1o77cYW). “The Applicants assert that, as a result of this transaction, Verizon Wireless would gain additional spectrum capacity that would help address growing customer demand for broadband and other wireless services in Hawaii.” Petitions to deny are due June 4, oppositions June 16, replies June 23.
