Gogo urged the FCC to implement a flexible auction that makes available four 125 MHz licenses for the provision of air-to-ground (ATG) service in the 14 GHz band. Doing so is technically viable and is needed “to ensure participation in the auction by less well-financed entities and promote continued, vibrant competition in the in-flight connectivity market,” it said in an ex parte filing posted Wednesday in docket 13-114 (http://bit.ly/1mNMsze). Licenses for 125 MHz would have more than adequate network capacity and provide robust service to passengers, it said. Compared with existing systems, each 125 MHz license can provide more than 16 times the peak capacity of Gogo’s current ATG/ATG-4 network, and more than 110 times the capacity of conventional Ku-band satellite systems, it said.
