It's actually a worldwide trend (in developed countries, anyway) to be looking 
at 2-6 GHz for large swaths of spectrum to be used for the next generation of 
wireless connectivity, known as 5G.

Some other countries have already held auctions to give some 3.4-3.7 -ish bands 
to 5G, and others are cutting into the 3.7+ GHz range that encroaches satellite 
downlink frequencies.

It's certainly something to investigate if you're gathering any content from 
satellite.

I'm not in the US but I find this highly interesting. We don't use C-band here 
for radio, but I have previously used it for links to African TV channels and 
had not considered that might be impacted in future by 5G.

Thanks for the heads-up. :-)

(For everyone who doesn’t live here, please pardon the United States-centric 
nature of this post.  I realize there’s a fair contingent of international 
folks on this listserv, but this is very relevant to broadcasters in the United 
States.)

Here is an interactive, zoomable map of all 13,993 C-band satellite downlink 
sites registered as of 10/22/2018 with the Federal Communications Commission.

If you haven’t registered your sites yet with the FCC, you have until October 
31, 2018 to do so if you want to have any protection against future 
interference from 5G.  

See http://bit.ly/2JyLnhU for instructions how.

And in case you haven’t heard, the C-Band Alliance (“CBA”) has now upped their 
ante to 200 MHz of bandwidth they think they can clear out of the C-band 4 GHz 
spectrum.  See http://bit.ly/2PhUNFs for an article about the updated offer.
