FCC Spectrum Auction progress report

Current Bidding status

The executive level summary is the TV stations want $88 billion to surrender their licenses, merging onto digital channels or going out of business. The wireless providers are willing to pay $11 Billion. Negotiations are continuing.

The “first component” in the chart refers to a requirement that the overall bids at least get $1.25 per population per MHz in markets where there is not a shortage of open channels. That requirement hasn’t been met either.
