The C-Band Alliance (“CBA”), comprised of the leading global
satellite operators Intelsat (NYSE: I), SES (Euronext Paris: SESG),
and Telesat, today responded to remarks delivered by Federal
Communications Commission (“FCC”) Chairman Ajit Pai at an industry
event hosted by the Information Technology and Innovation
Foundation in Washington, D.C.
The Chairman’s commentary previewed the key elements of a highly
anticipated draft order in response to the proceeding to bring
C-band spectrum to the market, upon which the CBA was premised and
has been an active participant since 2018. Once issued, the draft
order is expected to detail the FCC’s approach to clearing C-band
spectrum to enable rapid and nationwide 5G network deployment in
the U.S.
Chairman Pai has indicated that the order as written by the
Commission is expected to achieve the Commission’s core objectives
of the C-band clearing proceeding—namely a robust amount of
spectrum cleared to enable 5G, a rapid clearing process, revenues
that will benefit the American public, and protection of incumbent
C-band services. He indicated that with the anticipated February 7,
2020 release of a draft order, the FCC will pursue a 2020 public
auction of the C-band spectrum.
In a statement, the CBA said, “The imminent issuance of the
draft order reflects the tireless efforts of many over the past
several years to ensure that this critical spectrum comes to market
safely, quickly, and efficiently. Today’s comments by Chairman Pai
are a significant development in this important proceeding. We look
forward to reviewing the draft order, once issued, to place
Chairman Pai’s comments in full context.”
