The FCC's 2020 auction calendar is already full with three significant auctions scheduled before the end of the year. These auctions will unlock prime spectrum for 5G and other advanced spectrum services and help connect millions of rural Americans with broadband.

Participants and investors must pay particular attention to the FCC's auction schedule because they are bound by the FCC's anti-collusion rule "quiet period," which prohibits certain communications between auction applicants and some outside parties.
