12 GHz NPRM, 2.5 GHz Auction Rules Added to FCC's Jan. 13 Agenda
The draft NPRM on circulation about opening the 12 GHz band to 5G service has been added to the FCC's January agenda, per the sunshine agenda Wednesday evening. Also added are two public notices: one unveiling the first round of selections for the agency's Connected Care pilot program, and one seeking comment on competitive bidding procedures for a 2.5 GHz auction. It was expected that Chairman Ajit Pai might put 12 GHz NPRM and 2.5 GHz auction procedures on the agenda to assure a vote on them. Both were circulated last month. The Connected Care selections began in late December.
