Via Doc Searls, news in The Register that the FCC is scheduling auctions:
The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will auction off the States’ 1710-1755MHz and 2110-2155MHz spectrum bands to prospective 3G telephony providers by June 2006 at the earliest.
The FCC will also auction off the 1432-1435MHz band soon afterward, the organisation said, possibly as early as July or August 2006.
