Company Wants FCC to Reallocate TV Spectrum for Mobile

WASHINGTON, April 20, 2026 – A telecom company is asking federal regulators to make some broadcaster spectrum available for 5G and 6G wireless use. The company asked to be responsible for coordinating transfers with broadcasters and mobile carriers, which it said would be quicker than a government auction, in exchange for a cut of the proceeds.

The company, called Landover, has invested in and sold wireless networks in the U.S. and Europe. In a petition filed last week, Landover asked the Federal Communications Commission to initiate a rulemaking to begin the process of making 554-608 MegaHertz (MHz) available for mobile use.

Under Landover’s plan, broadcasters would come to the company and relinquish their spectrum licenses in exchange for some of the money once it’s sold. The company said it was already in touch with broadcasters and expected to secure commitments from some of the larger ones.
