Satellite Industry weighs in on FCC spectrum frontiers rulemaking

1/28/2016- The Satellite Industry Association has filed their comments in response to the FCC's allocation of spectrum above 24 GHz..."While the wireless industry is in the early stages of exploring services and business models that harness millimeter wave technologies...[T]hese services make satellite companies an essential component of the U.S. telecommunications system...Alternatives to the Commission’s proposals would permit both satellite and terrestrial mobile services to thrive by allowing the parties to work out an appropriate sharing environment based on concrete deployment plans... We look forward to working with terrestrial carriers and the Commission in an effort to developing a more effective consensus for efficient sharing of the spectrum.”
