The FCC's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau has denied the second petition to delay the C-band spectrum repack and auction mandated in the 3.7 GHz Report and Order.
A politically divided FCC voted last February on a final order creating the auction of C-band mid-band satellite spectrum for terrestrial wireless, as well as approving rules for that auction, which is slated to start in December.
Satellite earth station operator PSSI Global Services sought a stay of the order June 17 after the FCC denied the first stay.
On June 10, the FCC denied a petition to delay the start of the auction by the same handful of international satellite companies licensed to use the band that had sought a stay in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, which was also denied.
