In case you missed it – Dean Bubley, a tech industry expert and founder of Disruptive Analysis, recently wrote an article for RCR Wireless highlighting the implications of EchoStar’s recent spectrum sale in the broader spectrum landscape. Bubley points out that these types of spectrum sales free up the availability of exclusive spectrum and alleviate pressure on policy makers to disrupt existing spectrum bands like the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS).

“At a minimum, the amount of additional exclusive spectrum to be yielded by the EchoStar transactions should take some pressure off policy makers and allow them to carefully and methodically make future spectrum policy decisions under the OBBBA, especially given potential C-Band availability as well. This means less rationale for disrupting existing commercial wireless like the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) or 6GHz unlicensed bands as some have pushed to do,” says Bubley.
