CTIA Seeks Clarity on Satellite Spectrum Notice

CTIA asked for further clarity as the FCC seeks comment on expanded federal use of commercial satellite spectrum bands (see 2406280034). “The uncertainty and lack of consensus in the record demonstrate that further progress cannot be made without explicit clarification by the Commission and [the Office of Engineering and Technology] regarding what spectrum bands are being considered for expanded Federal use and, subsequently, thorough consideration and resolution of the issues in each band,” a filing posted Tuesday in docket 24-121 said. “Discrepancies” between a 2013 NPRM and 2021 Further NPRM “leave unclear what bands are now under consideration, frustrating the purpose of the process to afford commenters a meaningful opportunity to respond,” CTIA said.
