AT&T's chief said that his company is watching to see if federal regulators approve Verizon's bid to buy spectrum from a group of cable firms so that the industry has clearer guidance on what types of deals are acceptable. "We're all watching the Verizon deal very closely, because we think that will provide a good indication in terms of what the FCC's position is on spectrum aggregation and how much spectrum can be owned and so forth," AT&T Chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson said during a discussion on mobile technologies at the Brookings Institution.

New America Foundation Responds to AT&T CEO’s Calls for More Wireless Spectrum

We agree with AT&T's CEO, Randall Stephenson, that it is critical for the economy to "put precious spectrum to work." As he suggests, too much spectrum capacity lies fallow. However, while AT&T's focus is on re-purposing spectrum for exclusive use by wireless providers, there is a very limited supply of prime spectrum that can be quickly re-sold or cleared for auction.
