Verizon was the big bidder in Auction 113, spending $3.2 billion on 82 spectrum licenses. T-Mobile picked up more than 100 licenses, nearly all in small markets, for only $277 million. AT&T added 13 licenses for $133 million. SpaceX did not bid aggressively, landing two licenses for $8 million.
Verizon's network focus over the past 15 years has given it the industry's broadest wireless coverage, and its reputation with most customers is sterling.
Rival carriers have rapidly deployed new spectrum and technology to add coverage and capacity. Verizon’s network leadership is a thing of the past, and recent price increases have soured its reputation with customers.
