FCC vs FAA Story

[Crist Clark]

There was a lively thread on NANOG about the FCC and FAA conflict over G5
spectrum and altimeters when it all came to a head early this year.
ProPublica published an investigative report on it last week,

Whaddya know. Plenty of blame to go around. Government regulative bodies
captured by the industries they’re supposed to regulate. The usual stuff.

GAO: Federal broadband efforts fragmented and overlapping

U.S. Government Accountability Office

Broadband:
National Strategy Needed to Guide Federal Efforts to Reduce Digital Divide
GAO-22-104611
Published: May 31, 2022. Publicly Released: May 31, 2022.

In its efforts to expand broadband access, the federal government has 
subsidized investment in rural areas that haven't attracted private 
investment. We identified over 100 federal programs—administered by 15 
agencies—that could be used to expand access.


However, the number of programs has led to a fragmented, overlapping 
patchwork of funding. We recommended synchronizing federal efforts with a 
national broadband strategy, and more.

Recommendations

GAO is making three recommendations, including (1) that NTIA identify key 
statutory limitations to program alignment and develop legislative 
proposals as appropriate, and (2) that the Executive Office of the 
President develop and implement a national broadband strategy. NTIA agreed 
with our recommendations. The Executive Office of the President did not 
take a position on our recommendation.

There was a massive Zayo-maintenance-caused inter city fiber cut in the Pacific 
Northwest yesterday. I can't say more but I'm sure if you're a direct Zayo 
customer on the affected routes you can get some sort of RFO.

Hello all,

I’m tracking down an VPN issue for a user whose path to us crosses a Zayo 
router ( 
ae14.cs3.ord2.us.zip.zayo.com
 ) which is showing a crazy amount of packet loss in the 90% range. Is there 
Anyone on list from Zayo who could confirm or deny what I’m seeing?

Thanks
