You can give 100% of the credit to WISPA. This was not on the FCC agenda at all. WISPA lobbied the FCC to turn it into an NPRM, how to expand it, and why. There was plenty of providers that put support behind it... and of course the HOA lobbying groups fought against it but we won the day.
It would have gone into effect sooner but it was caught up in the pause the Biden administration imposed for any new regulation changes at the beginning of the year. If you are not a WISPA member... this is the type of stuff WISPA is fighting for. photograph Daniel White Co-Founder phone: +1 (702) 470-2770 direct:+1 (702) 470-2766 > Sterling Jacobson <mailto:[email protected]> > August 25, 2021 at 17:45 > > Yeah, more for governing entities like HOAs etc that try to regulate > what the home owner can/wants to do with their own roof/property or > access to broadband for their owned unit. > > You couldn’t just pick any random roof and install any random > equipment on it under OTARD.
