The Utilities Telecom Council urged the FCC to reject an application by Spectrum Networks Group (SNG) for a waiver so subsidiary M2M Spectrum Networks can offer a third-party service providing machine-to-machine communications using 900 MHz Business/Industrial/Land Transportation channels (CD July 30 p6). “UTC submits that SNG has not met its burden for obtaining a waiver under the FCC rules,” the group said (http://bit.ly/1k9KLln) in comments posted by the FCC Thursday in 14-100. Motorola Solutions made a similar argument. “SNG has not met its burden to demonstrate that the underlying intent of the Commission’s policies would be preserved by waiving the rule that limits the initial use of the 900 MHz I/B channels to private internal systems,” the equipment maker said (http://bit.ly/1AEmcSH).
