The FCC’s Wireless Telecommunications Bureau released a Public Notice granting six long-form applications and issuing 199 Advanced Wireless Services (AWS-3) licenses resulting from Auction 113. The auction concluded on June 23, 2026, generating approximately $3.57 billion in net bids and awarding a total of 200 licenses to seven winning bidders. Following a review of the submitted long-form applications, the Bureau determined that the approved applications complied with FCC rules, that all required payments had been received, and that granting the licenses serves the public interest, convenience, and necessity.
The notice formally grants the licenses listed in Attachment A and reminds licensees of their ongoing responsibility to comply with all applicable FCC rules, regulations, orders, and policies governing AWS-3 spectrum operations. The FCC emphasizes that its approval is based on the applications’ conformity with statutory and regulatory requirements.
