FCC Air-Ground Wireless Auction Delayed Again

Via Reuters.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission for the third time delayed resuming on Monday its auction of U.S. airwaves for Internet and other communications services aboard commercial airliners, this time until Tuesday.

Units of Verizon Communications Inc. and JetBlue Airways Corp. were the best-known bidders in the sale, which lasted a day and a half before the agency halted it.

After eight rounds of bidding, Unison Spectrum LLC has the highest offer of $4.5 million for a 3 megahertz license while Space Data Spectrum Holdings LLC has the top bid for the other 1 megahertz license with an offer of $244,000.

The auction had started May 10 and went through midday on May 11 before it was halted. It was to resume the next day but was delayed until Monday.
