The FCC’s forthcoming rulemaking on licensing models and technical requirements for the 3.5 GHz band should ask whether the 2007 World Radiocommunication Conference’s (WRC) harmonization for the 3.4-3.6 GHz band should affect licensing terms for the band within the U.S., said Intel Associate General Counsel Peter Pitsch during a meeting last week with Brendan Carr, wireless aide to FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai. The 2007 WRC identified the 3.4-3.6 GHz band for “International Mobile Telecommunications” within much of ITU Region 1 and in eight areas within ITU Region 3, Intel said in an ex parte (http://bit.ly/1he5S2d). The U.S. is included in ITU Region 2.
