[Ground-station] Fwd: FCC news flash - special edition newsletter

[Howie DeFelice]

I wouldn't count on it. They are having no problem kicking the licensed primary users of the FSS C band satellite spectrum off. I doubt they will even consider the implications to ham radio. For the most part, Congress is not our friend here. Less than a million ham operators don't comprise a significant voting block or source of campaign donations.

I already knew that the earth-based ISM band would be taken by the cellular companies. They were already using it to boost their data speeds to customers even though they were not paying anything to use that band.

What concerns me the most is whether the FCC will keep commercial signals off of our satellite up and downlink frequencies in the 5GHz band.
