The FCC is ready to auction off more spectrum. Bidding in Auction 102, which includes 2,909 upper microwave flexible use service licenses in the 24.25-24.45 GHz and 24.75-25.25 GHz band, is scheduled to begin on March 14.

The 24 GHz spectrum auction comes on the heels of a 28 GHz spectrum auction that concluded last week. It is also expected to generate much more interest and higher bid totals because the licenses up for grabs include more heavily populated areas around the country. Auction 101 generated a total of $702,572,410 in provisionally winning bids, but Auction 102 is expected to reach well into the billions.
