EWA Supports NPRM to Clarify Wi-Fi Use Rules
Calling it an issue “of vital concern to the Commission and to the American public", EWA has filed comments recommending that the FCC initiate a rulemaking proceeding to clarify the freedom of consumers to use FCC-approved devices when and where they choose and the right, indeed, the necessity, of allowing Wi-Fi network operators to use FCC-authorized equipment to deter serious attacks on and permit appropriate management of their networks. The comments were filed in response to a petition filed by the American Hotel & Lodging Association, Marriott International and Ryman Hospital Properties seeking a declaratory ruling that Section 333 of the Communications Act does not prohibit a Wi-Fi network operator from using FCC-authorized equipment to manage its network, even if doing so prevents guests on the operator’s property from using unlicensed Part 15 devices as Wi-Fi hotspots.

LMCC Supports Part 22 Rule Flexibility
The LMCC filed comments with the FCC suggesting thirteen (13) modifications to the Part 22, Subpart E, Paging and Radiotelephone Service rules to “align them more closely with the Part 90 rules governing VHF and UHF channels”, which will, in the LMCC’s opinion, facilitate the more seamless integration of this spectrum into Part 90 PLMR systems.
Among the changes, the LMCC recommends deleting subsection 20.9 (a)(6), which stipulates that Public Safety and Industrial/Business operators are treated as common carriers, a modification which would eliminate an unnecessary burden on applicants and FCC staff. More

FCC Goes Paperless
Under new FCC procedures, all licensees will be able to access their licenses in “active” status by logging into Universal Licensing System (ULS) or the Antenna Registration System (ASR).
The Public Notice notes that “…all commercial, private and public safety wireless service licensees and ASR registrants will access their current official authorizations in “Active” status only through License Manager in ULS or ASR Dashboard in the ASR System or by email, unless a licensee or registrant notifies the Commission that it wishes to receive its official authorizations on paper through the U.S. Postal Service”.
