The FCC has designated CTIA-The Wireless Association® to act as a clearinghouse to facilitate the relocation of incumbent licensees now that the 2006 Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) auction is complete.
To ensure the independence and neutrality of its clearinghouse, CTIA has established a new entity, the CTIA Spectrum Clearinghouse, LLC, to serve as the non-profit cost-sharing clearinghouse.
The CTIA Spectrum Clearinghouse, LLC is committed to administering the cost-sharing functions for relocation of Broadband Radio Service (BRS) and Fixed Microwave Service (FS) incumbents from the 2.1 GHz band on a fair and equitable basis.
