Frontline wants FCC to bar Verizon from 700MHz auction

Published October 1st, 2007


The 700MHz spectrum set to be auctioned by the Federal Communications Commission next January is some of the most highly sought after bandwidth to be made available in years. One major wireless player may be left on the outside looking in when the bidding begins, however, if Frontline Wireless has its way.

In a complaint (PDF) filed with the FCC late last week, Frontline accused Verizon of violating the FCC’s lobbying rules. Frontline wants the FCC to impose sanctions on Verizon, up to and including being barred from bidding on the beachfront spectrum that will hopefully become home to a new wireless broadband network.
