<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><em><strong>Verizon and AT&amp;T have just spent big on the C-band spectrum to improve their 5G network. This action was in line with the much-anticipated results of the FCC’s Auction 107. </strong></em></p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The amount of money spent by Verizon was nearly twice more than that of AT&amp;T, with a total spend of $45.4 billion. AT&amp;T’s total bid climbs to $23.4 billion while the figure for T-Mobile is $9.3 billion, which was also projected thanks to the strong mid-band spectrum holdings received after the company’s acquisition of Sprint.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Verizon &amp; AT&amp;T Spend almost $70 Billion on Spectrum</em></p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Not surprisingly, the total bidding added up to more than $80 billion, and Verizon and AT&amp;T would be the top bidders. </p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Their nationwide 5G networks are currently relying on narrower low-band frequencies and extremely fast millimeter-wave frequencies.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Both have drawbacks with the first delivering fewer speeds than 4G LTE and the latter facing significant coverage challenges. </p>

</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:justify">The significant investment of the two carriers into the new spectrum is aimed to catch up to T-Mobile in terms of 5G offerings. However, whether it will work or not still remains to be seen. Some analysts argue that it won’t.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center">  <em>Verizon and AT&amp;T have just spent much on the C-band spectrum</em></p>

<p style="text-align:justify">According to a new report by the financial analysts at Evercore, though Verizon spent a significant amount of money on the C-band spectrum, it still will not catch up with the amount of mid-band spectrum commanded by T-Mobile.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The analysts expect T-Mobile to own twice as much bandwidth on average as Verizon on a per-subscriber basis, even after the C-band results are listed. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">It’s not until the end of the year, the new frequencies will become available in limited locations first. Let’s wait for it and see its capability.</p>
