Subject: FCC Part 68, Public Notice: DA 99-342
Dear Treggers,
Does anyone have any information regarding the outcome of the above Public
Notice, released by FCC on February 17, 1999 on the subject of clarification
of paragraph 68.2 (j)(3)?
I agree that the original paragraph is murky. However, the above Public
Notice clarifies nothing except to spread panic among certain of our
suppliers that they can no longer supply us with their registered, directly
connected equipment, after May 19, 1999.
FCC is seeking comment from manufacturer's whether to "clarify 47 C.F.R.
68.2(j)(3) requiring re-registration of previously registered equipment
after May 19, 1999." Since the above paragraph does not address
previously registered equipment, I consider this a sneaky way of suddenly
extending the scope with only some three months' warning to manufacturers.
Alice (as in Wonderland) replies to an offer of "more tea,"
--- I cannot accept more tea since I have not received any to start with!
(Not a direct quotation since I cannot remember the exact words.)
What am I missing here? I believe that the above paragraph addresses
unregistered equipment. If anyone can provide clarification regarding this
issue, it would be greatly appreciated.
