The FCC has been considering a spectrum auction designed to create free nationwide wireless broadband service and has now released information about their plans in order to get feedback about moving forward. The plan involves combining existing unused spectrum and auctioning it off to a bidder who would then build out a network that would cover 95% of the country within the next ten years.

The plan has been controversial due in no small part to the fact that it’s opposed by power-wielding incumbent wireless carriers. T-Mobile has stated the intention to detail concerns to the FCC regarding interference issues that it believes require further joint testing with the FCC. Although the carriers are likely to push for delays on this issue, the FCC claims to seek an expedited comment period with a final decision to come in August.
