  9. S.1682 • This bill requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to complete auctions during each of the next three calendar years that will grant new broadcast licenses for specified frequency spectrum bands. • The FCC and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration are directed to identify frequencies in specified spectrum bands that may be utilized for: (1) non-federal unlicensed use; and (2) commercial licensed use. • The FCC must allocate 10% of proceeds from each of the spectrum band auctions specified in the bill to expand wireless infrastructure in rural areas that are underserved or unserved. • The FCC shall conduct a study on how unlicensed frequency spectrum bands can be utilized for: (1) the provision of healthcare in rural areas, (2) distance learning, and (3) facilitating innovations in agriculture.

It is 18-17/0132r00) • We have been asked to review and comment on these by 13 November. • This is to be a high level position paper that we do not want to restrict any regulatory public comments/communications from IEEE 802, it’s Working Groups and TAGs. • See Rev 18-17/0131r01 for updates discussed in the meeting. Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise

  16. GPPC approval process • Following 802.18 TAG and 802 EC 10 day approvals, the Global Public Policy Committee would add another 7-day approval process on correspondence. • E.g. if we receive a document we decide to respond to, that has a typical 30-day Comment period, the TAG has a maximum of 13-days to outline, compose and approve the response • Based on our meeting and teleconference schedule, we could lose 6-days due to the asynchronous regulator/IEEE schedules • This would leave us a total of 7-days for our entire process,which is not sufficient. • Actually some Reply Comment periods are only 15-days and at times the TAG does not receive requests on day one. • It is being researched if we stay within the IEEE Position Statements, we would not need the additional approval. Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise
