Subject: FCC is planning millimeter wave spectrum auctions in 2018
and 2019
Licenses for millimeter wave frequencies in 24, 28, 37, 39 and 47 GHz
bands focus of proposed auctions
By Sean Kinney
The multi-gigabit speeds 5G is designed to support will require large
swatches of high-capacity, millimeter wave spectrum. High-band
frequencies, combined with mid- and low-band spectrum will
collectively afford end users, whether people or objects, the right
mix of coverage and capacity needed to support 5G use cases.
Right now in the U.S., AT&T and Verizon are both tapping millimeter
wave frequencies to roll-out commercial 5G services later this
year. AT&T is promising a standards-based mobile service in 12 markets
by year-end, while Verizon is planning to deploy fixed wireless access
to provide residential broadband services in three to five markets by
the end of 2018.

Subject: Federal Contractor TCPA Liability A Loophole, Group Says
By Christopher Crosby
Law360 (July 9, 2018) -- A trade group for hundreds of federal
contractors has asked the Federal Communications Commission to strike
a clause from its Telephone Consumer Protection Act rules that may
undermine their shield from robocall lawsuits, saying it appears to
have been mistakenly added.
