My apologies. I was assuming the 1250 MHZ Cap from October 2015 NPRM. I dropped the ball that it was updated late October 2017 to 1850 MHZ:

The Report & Order includes rules that continue to promote competitive access to spectrum through scalable competition policies that avoid excessive concentration of licenses and promote innovation in the efficient use of spectrum. Specifically, it adopts an ex ante spectrum holdings limit of 1250 MHz applied to auctioned spectrum in these bands, and a spectrum threshold of 1250 MHz for case-by-case review of secondary market transactions.


Verizon Ex Parte:
Verizon will be under the updated millimeter wave threshold of 1850 megahertz in all markets following these two transactions, and thus these transactions do not even trigger an enhanced review based on aggregation.

Cap was updated in October 2017:
Taking into consideration the additional 1700 megahertz of mmW spectrum that we are making available in the 24 GHz and 47 GHz bands, we add 600 megahertz, or approximately one-third of this additional spectrum, to the 1250 megahertz mmW spectrum threshold, for a combined threshold of 1850 megahertz for proposed secondary market transactions.

All things considered it appears they are lining up all the prime MM Wave spectrum to be scooped up by ATT and Verizon. Somewhat understood as Sprint and T-Mobile appear to be years behind.
