[WISPA] SIC codes

[Joe Lenig]

Anyone know the SIC for a WISP?   I see "Internet Service - 7374021" and I
see Satellite Service has its own #, but nothing for WISP.

[Joe Lenig]

I have to agree with you Jay Fuller – but I’m trying to keep my paranoia 
optimistic.  

 

I read Comcast’s comments…. Very interesting with good, compelling suggestions 
to keep it at the County level, 7 year licenses, bid credits for incumbents.  
And they showed several examples of where PEA licensing failed to encourage 
innovation and expansion. 

 

Comcast clearly has a vested interest in this outcome.  Is it to be a player? 
Or to make sure they are not overrun by the cell carriers using a clean and 
powerful frequency.  

 

Time will tell…

An opinion from this peanut gallery is that o-jit-pie is not interested in 
serving the American public or the governments interests, he is only interested 
in serving himself with all the money he can garner from his large corporate 
donors.  Folks the mafia has taken over the government.  We can cry all we 
want, the tone-deaf aren't listening.

WISPA Members,

We are in the middle of one of the most important fights in the history of our 
industry.  We need every member (operators, vendors, service providers) to 
submit comments to the FCC.  More background and an outline to help you cover 
all the bases are in Steve Coran’s email below.   

Please take 30 minutes today and put together a letter to the FCC on CBRS.  If 
you need assistance, or want help reviewing a draft, contact me, Mark 
Radabaugh, or Steve Coran off list and we’ll help you.  

We have also developed a website that will enable you to see the difference 
between census tracts (the current proposal for allocating PALs) and PEAS.  
Instructions for accessing that website are below.  

If you would prefer to have a KMZ file showing PEA's that you can use, you can 
download it here:

Citizens Broadband Radio Service

GN Docket No. 17-258

 

Suggestions for Filing Comments regarding Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

Deadline: Thursday, December 28, 2017 at 11:59 pm Eastern Time

 

Background

 

On October 24, 2017, the FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 
that would fundamentally change the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS), 
which includes the 3550-3650 MHz band and the existing 3650-3700 MHz band.  
WISPA will be filing extensive Comments opposing many of the proposed rule 
changes, and we believe it is very important for individual members – WISPs, 
manufacturers, vendors, etc. – to also file Comments.

 

Summary of Current Rules That Will Be Changed If WISPs Do Not Comment

 

The FCC adopted rules in April 2015 to establish the CBRS band.  The band 
employs a three-tier spectrum access model.  Incumbent Access (earth stations 
and military) that must always be protected from interference; Priority Access, 
which will be auctioned by the FCC according to census tracts and must protect 
incumbents; and General Authorized Access (GAA), a “license by rule” service 
that must protect Incumbent and Priority Access use.  The FCC allocated up to 
70 megahertz for Priority Access Licenses (PALs) and the remaining 80 megahertz 
for GAA use.  The FCC also will allow GAA use opportunistically when and

Subject: [WISPA] FCC tower lighting question

 

Can someone comment on whether this new ruling is going to pass or not:

 

New FAA Marking Requirements May Impact Rural Towers Under 200 Feet 

 

A recently passed law, the FAA Extension, Safety, and Security Act of 2016
(Act), will affect certain towers that are between fifty (50) and two
hundred (200) feet in height by requiring that many of these towers in rural
areas be marked and lit. The law, passed to protect agricultural aviators
(crop dusters), will make rural towers previously not subject to Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements more visible with painted
markings and other visibility attachments.  The Act also requires these
towers to be documented in an FAA database.  The FAA must issue regulations
by July 15, 2017. As compliance with these rules may prove costly to
wireless carriers, particularly where they are unnecessary, we are working
with the Competitive Carriers Association (CCA) to create an exemption for
communication towers.  Your feedback on specific towers in your service
areas is requested.

 

Summary of the FAA Extension, Safety, and Security Act

 

The term "covered tower" is defined in Section 2110(d) of the Act as a
structure that: is self-standing or supported by guy wires; is 10 feet or
less in diameter; is between 50 - 200 feet AGL; has accessory facilities on
which equipment is mounted; and is located outside an incorporated city or
town, or on undeveloped or agricultural land. The term does not include a
structure that is:  adjacent to a house, barn, electric utility station, or
other building; within the curtilage of a farmstead; a utility transmission
pole; a wind turbine with a rotor blade radius over 6 feet; or a street
lighted maintained by a Federal, State, local or tribal entity.

 

The Act requires that all covered towers constructed on or after the date on
which the regulations take effect must be marked in a manner consistent with
guidance under the FAA Advisory Circular issued on December 4, 2015 (AC
70/7460-1L) or other guidance as determined by the Administrator. Existing
covered towers, constructed before the regulations take effect, will have an
additional year to comply with the new regulations. 

 

AC 70/7460-IL recommends that towers under 200 feet be painted with
alternate bands of aviation orange and white paint. The band width should be
equivalent to 1/7 of the tower height and the paint must be reapplied if it
begins to fade. The Advisory Circular also recommends that high-visibility
sleeves and aviation orange spherical market balls be installed on any outer
guy wires. 

 

The new law also creates an FAA database of all towers covered under this
provision. The database will contain location and height information of each
Covered Tower. The FAA administrator will ensure that any proprietary
information in the database is protected from disclosure in accordance with
the law. 

 

Exemption Proposal and Input Request

 

As mentioned above, we are working with CCA to create an exemption or carve
out for communication towers. Based on meetings with Senate Commerce
Committee staff, CCA is working to include in the exemption any tower
possessing clear, visual cues such as bases, attachments, antennas, or any
equipment critical to service. Other suggestions for exemption include
temporary towers or CoWs, towers that comply with local zoning ordinances
and/or National Historic Preservation Act, towers with an antenna array over
five feet (5') in diameter, guy wired towers, and towers with antennas that
have reflective material. With regard to the FAA database, an alternative
proposal is to make a database of communication towers available to aviators
for reference and not require those tower owners to mark their towers.
