FCC Assignment Transactions posted on March 21, 2018  

In this week transactions, T-Mobile (through Iowa Wireless) continues to acquire the minor PCS and AWS spectrum owners in the Des Moines MTA.  Sprint's lease to the City of Donalsonville, GA is interesting.  From the FCC application public interest statement:  "Lessee is in the process of completing a system whereby it will provide fixed broadband services to residents of Seminole County, including students in the County that do not have access to and cannot afford broadband services."  This is surprising because the core of Sprint's 2.5GHz LTE network has typically been the BRS (owned) channels and they are authorizing the city to build a fixed broadband network on this spectrum.  The remaining transactions show some leasing between Sprint and two different regional operators, Great Woods/Phoenix Wireless in the Northeast, and Alaska Wireless in Alaska.
