The auction will restart on September 13 at the 114 MHz clearing target.

Right now, some folks are saying that an 84 MHz clearing target may be
where things converge.

Strange. Demand is exceeding supply, this article says, and yet the FCC is
making noises to reduce the amount of spectrum reclaimed from TV, from 126 MHz
to 114 MHz.
I still think this is one of those things the government can do, and therefore
does, and it makes a big splash in the news, but it's not really a high payoff
tactic. We are talking about the 600 MHz band, hardly what 5G and other new RF
standards are looking at, and hardly compatible with high spectrum reuse. Why
the reported high demand in 9 of the 10 bigger markets (presumably high
density)?
Something isn't adding up. And look at the last sentence. It sounds like
bidders might be having second thoughts? (I wouldn't be surprised.)
