FCC Auction Tracking Service

Welcome to the FCC Auction Tracking Service Web Page. In 1993 Congress authorized the FCC to award licenses for wireless services through competitive bidding. This site is jointly sponsored by Telecommunications Reports International, Inc. and Telecommunications Research Inc. (TRI) and is offered as a resource for interested parties to track auction activity for ongoing auctions. Prior to the FCC's auctions of Public Coast Station licenses, TRI prepared daily maps and tables summarizing the progress of ongoing FCC auctions. Starting with the Public Coast Station auction, and for future FCC auctions, the links are now to charts and tables which are prepared and maintained by the FCC's Auctions Division.
