The FCC said Monday it’s opening the pleading cycle on AT&T’s proposed buy of all 19 of Sprint’s A block and B block Wireless Communications Service (WCS) spectrum licenses (http://bit.ly/1hWUwwO), which was announced in May (CD May 16 p13). It would give AT&T 10-20 MHz of WCS spectrum in 153 cellular market areas in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, the FCC said. Petitions to deny are due by July 2; oppositions to those petitions July 14. Replies to oppositions are due July 21, the FCC said.
