    WASHINGTON, June 7, 2023 rCo T-Mobile is alleging in new court documents
    filed in a California court on June 2 that WCO Spectrum has engaged in
    a rCLnationwide criminal scheme to defraud T-Mobile and its
    subsidiariesrCY by artificially inflating prices it pays to lease
    spectrum from educational institutions.

    T-Mobile leases the right to use certain spectrum bands from
    educational institutions that hold Federal Communications Commission
    licenses for the bands. The wireless carrier reserves the right of
    first refusal in most of its contracts which allows the company to
    match a third party offer to purchase a spectrum license and acquire
    the license itself.
