Another Country Heard From

On August 3, a group of organizations acting under the misleading name of the “Public Interest Spectrum Coalition” (PISC) reported meeting with the offices of all Federal Communications Commission Commissioners to call upon them to finalize the rules in the 6 GHz proceeding. The ex parte reporting the meeting included the claim that VLP “devices and higher power for indoor-only use (LPI) are particularly crucial for digital equity and inclusion, for continued U.S. leadership in next generation Wi-Fi, and for virtually all consumers, businesses and community anchor institutions.” What in the heck does that word salad mean?  What’s next? Claims that permitting unfettered access to the 6 GHz band by unlicensed devices at higher powers will cure cancer and bring back the glaciers? Digital equity? Please. It’s excruciating enough we have to put up with the malarkey from PSSA that claims a disaster for public safety will result if the 4.9 GHz band isn’t turned over to FirstNet (AT&T) for care and handling. We have to trust that the FCC will adopt rules that are fair to all parties at 4.9 GHz and 6 GHz, and not fall prey to the gibberish from organizations like PSSA and now PISC.
