Cable One Poised To Sell AWS Spectrum To AT&T

Cable One is looking to sell a swath of Advanced Wireless Spectrum (AWS) to AT&T as the wireless operator seeks more capacity to flesh out its growing 4G/LTE network.

Under the proposed deal, Cable One would sell a block of 20 MHz of AWS-1 spectrum to AT&T covering 119 counties in 24 cellular market areas in various states. Financial terms were not disclosed, but once the deal is sealed, AT&T would hold 63 MHz to 153 MHz of spectrum in the CMAs involved in the transaction, including 20 MHz to 50 MHz of AWS-1 spectrum.
