Basically, each band was carved up differently.
C gives the ability to use the same frequencies nationally.
The others result in smaller areas where the same frequencies can be used.
The different bands all operate in the same general 700 MHZ spectrum. Which means all these bands have the same ability to go thru trees, walls, etc. That is why this auction drew so much money and interest.

The others result in smaller areas where the same frequencies can be used. The C block was offered two ways - As a single National Chunk and as a series of local chunks. If the sum of the high bids for the local chunks was more than the high bid for the Nation Chunk (as it was) the Chunks go to the local chunk bidders. The bids were gamed to prevent the National Bid from winning and the local bids went to more than one bidder so nation wide support on a single frequency is impossible without Roaming Agreements. |

Verizon ended up the winner of the C block - no matter how they bid on it. They won the lower 48 states and Hawaii. The only one they didn't win in the C block was Alaska.

Verizon Wireless won enough of the C-block licenses to cover every state but Alaska. The company said it was very pleased with the results, which will allow it to "continue to grow our business and data revenues." --
