FCC Assignment Transactions posted on April 11, 2018  

This week there are 3 simple transactions and one complicated transaction.  First, Sprint has completed a new lease for EBS spectrum covering the Port Arthur, TX area.  Second, Panhandle Telecommunication filed two long term leases for a total of three counties in the panhandle of Oklahoma.  The last transfer transaction is confusing because it relates to the LMDS spectrum licenses that T-Mobile began acquiring in December 2017 and has consummated.  This transfer application was filed in 2005 as Cortelyou went into bankruptcy protection.  I assume the courts finalized the bankruptcy and allowed these licenses to be conveyed to ATX Communications.  ATX Communications had already assigned these licenses to First Communications in late 2005 who assigned them to T-Mobile in December 2017.  I believe the only purpose of the Cortelyou/ATX Communication transactions is to clear up the ownership lineage, but does not affect the current ownership of the spectrum which is currently in T-Mobile's control.
