Anterix this week announced that a Texan utility agreed to buy its
900MHz spectrum holdings for a total of $30 million.
The agreement helps to move the market for spectrum leasing and buying a
step forward. However, it remains a space with plenty of players, a
diversity of use cases, and an unclear future.
Not surprisingly, Anterix's Rob Schwartz cheered the deal. "This
agreement ... adds a new type of customer to our nationwide network of
utility networks, as LCRA [Lower Colorado River Authority] is a public
power generation and transmission utility that is also a water
management utility. This agreement highlights the benefits of private
LTE beyond the investor-owned electric utility space that has thus far
been the major focus of Anterix's efforts," he said in a release.
