MAP and New America Argue for Unlicensed Uses in FCC Redesign of MDS/ITFS Spectrum
Posted: Thursday October 23, 2003
MAP and New America argue for FCC to allocate 90 MHz of spectrum exclusively to unlicensed uses as part of FCC redesign of MDS/ITFS spectrum (10/23/03).
MAP and NAF also urge the FCC to maintain the current set aside for non-commercial eductional “ITFS” broadcasters, but insists that grants of new flexibility must be equalled by new public interest requirements. MAP and NAF were joined not only by consumer organizations representing unlicensed users, but by a number of commercial wireless ISPs (WISPs) and non-commercial providers of unlicensed services.
