SDN/SD-WAN


MS Co-Founder Paul Allen, Chevron Enter 700MHz Fray

  • Written by Tara
  • December 20, 2007

The final list of applicants to bid in the 700MHz auction has been released by the FCC, and mixed in with the high-profile bidders we already knew about are two seemingly odd ducks: Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and Chevron Corp.

At first glance Allen’s filing under investment company Vulcan Spectrum LLC seems whimsical; the billionaire is known for investments in such disparate entities as genetics companies and the NBAs Portland Trailblazers. But considering Allen is the majority shareholder of cableco Charter Communications, his interest would seem to go a bit deeper than that.

Also on the list is Chevron, the petrochemical giant. While its difficult to speculate as to its intentions (wireless oil transactions?), Chevron does own some spectrum already, which it uses for secure internal communications.

Allen and the gas company will be two of 266 bidders for the 1,099 licenses (and 62MHz) of 700MHz spectrum on Jan. 24, going head to head with the heavyweights as well as a large number of regional phone companies. Guam Cellular & Paging, anyone?

One caveat: About two thirds of the applications were rejected as incomplete, and those companies must revise their filings by Jan. 4 to compete in the auction. Notably, AT&T Inc., Cox Communications and Qualcomm Inc. are on the incomplete list.
