5G in India launch date

A spectrum auction is a process whereby a government uses an auction system to sell the rights to transmit signals over specific bands of the electromagnetic spectrum and to assign scarce spectrum resources .

Results published Wednesday by U.K. regulator Ofcom showed the four major operators BT/EE, Three, Telefonica UK (O2), and Vodafone acquired all of the 200-megahertz available across the 700 MHz and 3.6-3.8 GHz bands.

AT&T, Dish, and T-Mobile dropped billions of dollars in a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) auction to acquire more 5G spectrum licenses in the midrange 3.45GHz to 3.55GHz band, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
