Summit Ridge: 3.45 GHz Clearance Delays Continue

Summit Ridge, the 3.45 GHz Clearinghouse, told the FCC it’s still waiting for NBCUniversal to complete its “relocation activity” and submit final invoices. “Total Clearinghouse costs and clearing costs are running very close to their original estimated costs,” Summit Ridge said in a report filed Monday in docket 19-348. “However, due to costs that the Clearinghouse will incur while it continues its operations, the longer the Clearinghouse exists in operations, the less likely it is that the Clearinghouse will be able to stay within its initial budget,” the firm said. Summit Ridge made similar points in its last quarterly report in July (see 2407030063).
