GRANTING THE FCC'S PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
Today's decision puts us one step closer to bringing this spectrum to the marketplace so consumers can enjoy next generation wireless services.
We are pleased that the Court has reaffirmed our regulatory role in licensing spectrum as well as our authority to insist upon timely payment as a licensing condition.
