Pai Plans C-Band Vote Feb. 28; Still Plans Auction Start in 2020

FCC Chairman Ajit Pai plans to soon circulate an item on the C-band auction and seek a vote at the next commissioners' meeting, he told Communications Daily in Q&A after Thursday's monthly gathering. "We will be considering an item on the Feb. 28 meeting to go forward with the C band.”

He noted he likely will send the draft around to all commissioners next week. That's the standard FCC practice.

"We’re still targeting commencement of the auction this year," Pai told us.
