OBTAINING LICENSING FOR THE 3.65 – 3.70 GHZ SPECTRUM

In 2007 the FCC issued a licensing scheme that would allow wireless operators the opportunity to harness the power of the 3.65 – 3.70 GHz spectrum. This opened up new service possibilities for independent ISPs and other competitive service providers.

Currently, it’s not possible to obtain a new NN license, but it is possible to have a license transferred to a new owner from a previous NN license holder.

This page will cover the necessary steps for transferring an NN license from one user to another using the FCC’s online process. 

 
 

If you have not completed a Form 602 to provide disclosure of the corporate entity who is obtaining the NN license, you should do that before beginning the transfer process.

 

You will need to provide the following the person you are buying the license from:

  • Your corporate FRN
  • Your Form 602 File Number
  • Your corporate Name/Address
  • The contact representative for the license transfer

There is a $70 application fee associated with the Form 603, that is payable online before the processing completes.
