STATEMENT FROM FCC CHAIRMAN TOM WHEELER ON H BLOCK AUCTION CLOSE
“With this successful auction, the Commission makes good on its commitment to unleash more spectrum 
for consumers and businesses, delivering a significant down payment towards funding the nationwide 
interoperable public safety network.  The H Block auction is a win for the American people, and we thank 
Chairwoman Clyburn for her leadership scheduling it.  We also commend everyone who worked so hard 
to resolve technical issues that made this previously unusable spectrum valuable.”
