T-Mobile Lobbies FCC on Data Roaming, 600 MHz Auction

T-Mobile told the FCC that prospective guidance and predictable enforcement criteria on the “commercially reasonable” standard in the data roaming order “would be invaluable to carriers in negotiating and reaching agreements,” in an ex parte filing posted Friday in docket 12-268. The carrier also said that in the 600 MHz auction, a four-block maximum reserve would promote competition and expand opportunity “by preventing the dominant players, which already control more than 70 percent of the nation’s low-band spectrum resources, from choking off competitors’ access to the spectrum resources needed to offer wireless services indoors and in rural areas.”
