FAA proceeding threatening unlicensed service

FAA PROCEEDING THREATENING UNLICENSED SERVICE
[SOURCE: Truth, Justice & Telecom Policy, AUTHOR: JH Snider]
[Commentary] Yesterday the New America Foundation, Media Access Project, Free Press, and others filed comments in a proceeding at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) concerning the creation of new limitations on unlicensed and other private sector spectrum users. The FAA was motivated by a praiseworthy goal: to prevent harmful interference to FAA communications. But the restrictions it proposed on private sector spectrum users were so onerous that they invited a tsunami of opposing comments. New America et al.'s filing was noteworthy not in its general critique of the FAA's proposal but in its specific focus on the potential impact of the FAA proposal on unlicensed service.
