Hmm... looks like we need to keep up the good fight:
I know this is out of line with the WISPA consensus, but it seems to
me that if there are more than 10 white space channels in a given
area, then letting Part 101 point-to-point operations share them
could be in our best interests. Backhaul for WISPs is often very
expensive, so a couple of channels (for FDD) of UHF backhaul could be
just the ticket. Of course these should be available to any
qualified Part 101 applicant, not just a CMRS licensee.
If this were allowed to the extent that it displaced PtMP operation,
then of course it would be bad, but it might make more sense to
suggest some numbers, like 2 channels out of (a minimum white space
of) 10, and one out of every additional 2, so if there were 20
channels, 7 would be allowed for PtP and 13 for PtMP.
Finally, it is important that we address additional proposals to set
aside TV channels in rural areas
for fixed licensed backhaul in the very near future. The ability of
both new and incumbent wireless
providers to provide 4G wireless services ubiquitously is dependent
upon a robust wireless infrastructure
that is too often lacking in rural areas.
