First Numbers Are In From FCC Wireless Auction

January 24, 2008

Morning results of today's big FCC 700 MHz spectrum auction are in.

Specific bidders and winners are not being announced. Still, a look at the trend lines gives us some basic data about how the winds are blowing.

Fierce Wireless has been tracking. They've just posted that:

There is a provisionally winning bid for the C Block of spectrum at just over $1 billion and a provisionally winning bid for the D Block of spectrum for $472 million. Round two of bidding will commence at 2:30 PM EST. There is no set number of rounds, according to the FCC rules, the rounds will continue until there are no more bids. So far, the FCC has raised more than $2.4 billion in provisionally winning bids after 1,849 bids were placed.

I'll be back later tonight with more data, and quite possibly, my read on this big day.
