To the wireless industry crowd at the final keynote panel at the Mobile World Congress trade show on Monday, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai's words were music to their ears.
Pai opened his speech with a call to free up more spectrum -- the radio airwaves required for carriers to deploy and expand their networks. He said he intends to hold an auction in November to sell spectrum in the higher-frequency 28 gigahertz band, critical for blazing 5G speeds, as well as spectrum in the 24 GHz band at a later time. He also said he plans to make so-called midrange-band spectrum available for commercial use.
