The 2.5 GHz band is divided into two radio services, Educational Broadband Services (EBS) and Broadband Radio Service (BRS). In 2005, the FCC approved changes to the rules to allow the use of EBS and BRS licenses for two-way, mobile and fixed data services. The regulations set in place allow EBS licensees to lease their spectrum rights for commercial uses, including broadband access. In July of 2019, the FCC adopted rules to commercialize the EBS band by removing the educational eligibility requirement. The implementation of these rules provide EBS licensees the ability to sell their licenses to a commercial party.
