FCC Holds October 2026 Open Commission Meeting: Agenda Includes 25 MHz Mid-Band Auction, 800 MHz for Drones and Telecom Security
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) held its October 2026 Open Commission Meeting on October 29, starting at 10:30 a.m. Eastern. The FCC official channel released the full video of the meeting, embedded on this page.
Agenda items included an auction of 25 megahertz of mid-band spectrum; modernizing the rules for supplemental coverage from space; unlocking the 800 MHz cellular band for drone communications; barring test laboratories and certification bodies from non-reciprocal countries; strengthening the security of telecommunications services and infrastructure; implementing the Rural Broadband Protection Act; removing accessibility barriers; and an Enforcement Bureau action.
Spectrum auctions and the drone band allocation shape how frequencies are divided between next-generation wireless networks and the low-altitude economy, among the FCC's key regulatory work this year.
