Secretariat Economists Managing Director Allan Ingraham, Associate Directors Shreyas Ravi and Chris Sojourner, and Senior Associates Gabriel P. and Katherine Senseman provided strategic advice to AT&T for its participation in Auction 110, which offered 100 MHz of mid-band 5G licenses in the 3.45-3.55 GHz band.
AT&T won the most spectrum in the auction, acquiring the maximum allowable portfolio of 40 MHz in every market across the continental U.S. Furthermore, AT&T was the only bidder to acquire a uniform nationwide portfolio.
This auction allowed AT&T to improve its already strong mid-band position, and at prices significantly lower than last year’s C-band auction. AT&T is well positioned for 5G deployment, with the most consistent nationwide portfolio across all 5G bands.
The Secretariat Economists auction team has advised AT&T in all major spectrum auctions since 2014, including all the mid-band and mmWave auctions for 5G.
