That's two fewer qualified bidders than the previous mmWave auction for spectrum at 28 GHz, which concluded in late January after raising $702 million. https://www.rcrwireless.com/20190304/policy/fcc-finalizes-qualified-bidders-for-24-ghz-auction -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190308130636.GA14541@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Fri, 8 Mar 2019 13:06:36 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: More twists with Frontier as Minnesota attorney general's office opens another inquiry As Frontier Communications told regulators Tuesday that it is improving service and mediating customer concerns, the state Attorney General's Office disclosed an investigation into whether the company had violated state consumer-protection laws related to its internet service. The parallel filings to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) came in response to a scathing report in January from the state Commerce Department that alleged Frontier may have violated 35 Minnesota laws and regulations related to service quality. http://www.startribune.com/more-twists-in-frontier-inquiry/506737812/ -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190308130339.GA14519@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Fri, 8 Mar 2019 13:03:39 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Frontier Communications expands in Horry County SC by Heather Gale HORRY COUNTY, S.C.
