Spectrum by band
Holdings are grouped by the band a filing or agreement actually names. Granted means a regulator's document confers the right. In review means the regulator has accepted an application and has not granted it. Requested means a filing, proposal, or announcement that is not a grant. Testing means a regulator has licensed a trial or experiment. Total megahertz is shown only when a source states one number.
