The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced a modification in how it will handle certain applications for the 470-512 MHz T-Band spectrum. Originally, applications were paused because the T-Band frequencies were expected to be reallocated. Now, after a new law negated the reallocation, the FCC will resume processing applications for renewing existing licenses and processing other pending applications. Additionally, the FCC will allow a period during which applicants and coordinators can prepare new applications, followed by a time frame when certain applications will be accepted from existing license holders only. These changes aim to enhance access to T-Band channels without unnecessary delays.
