The licenses up for grabs in the so-called C-Band cover about 280 megahertz of spectrum falling between 3.3 GHz and 4.2 GHz. That counts as mid-band spectrum, which offers an attractive trade-off between connection speed and range. Higher-frequency signals allow for faster connectivity, but don’t travel far from an antenna. Low-band spectrum has the opposite trade-off: It allows carriers to blanket a large geographic area with service from relatively few antennas, but without the lightning-fast speeds that 5G promises.
Wireless companies effectively need to have licenses in all three categories to boast a fully developed 5G network, with high-band coverage in dense urban areas and places like stadiums or airports and mid- and low-band filling in the gaps in suburban and rural areas in the rest of the country.

U.S. investors have borne the brunt of an executive order signed by President Trump that was meant to hit the Chinese military by curtailing access to American dollars.
The order, which takes effect Monday, bans Americans from trading the securities of dozens of Chinese companies. People who invested in those stocks are upset after a confusing series of events over the past two weeks. During that time, U.S. officials, the New York Stock Exchange and brokerage firms sent mixed signals over which stocks would be prohibited and.

Shares in China’s three major telecommunications companies dropped in Hong Kong on Friday, after index compilers said they would remove the stocks from their benchmarks due to a U.S. government investment ban.
The removals come after a period of uncertainty about whether the shares would be covered by the ban and flip flops by the New York Stock Exchange about whether to delist American depositary receipts issued by the three companies, China Mobile Ltd. , China Telecom Corp. and China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd.
Guidance from the Treasury Department this week made it clear that the publicly traded units would be covered, as well as their closely held parent companies, which the U.S. government has already named as helping the Chinese military.

The New York Stock Exchange is in the hot seat after a baffling flip-flop in which it first said it would delist three Chinese companies to comply with an executive order from President Trump, only to reverse itself four days later.
The NYSE’s U-turn drew criticism from the administration of President Trump, who signed the order in November ordering a ban on the trading of securities of companies U.S. officials say have links to the Chinese military.
The order was one of the last salvos by Mr. Trump to get tough on Beijing and put the NYSE in a difficult situation since the exchange has long welcomed initial public offerings of companies from China.
