I think I've also seen interference posts on WISPA's lists but I don't recall the details. You can always just ask if anyone is experiencing 365 interference and see what responses people give. > I don't > recall any complaints on the WISPA general list about it. > > There are >> also more and more illegal (unlicensed) "bootleggers" using the band.

Well illegal/unlicensed use is a clear enforcement action and > should be referred to the FCC EB. <jau> We can't expect much enforcement action from the FCC on 3.65. 1) They have a very limited enforcement budget that is reserved for interference that is caused to (fully) licensed services, 2) They expect us to police ourselves, not turn to them. > Coordination among entities... as I > recall that was very vague in the R&O. <jau> Yes it is vague although we supported a filing by the Fixed Wireless Communications Coalition last year to make it less vague. Because it is vague, it's really up to us, not the FCC. If we don't demonstrate that we can make 3.65 litely-licensed spectrum work then we should not hold out of getting any more in the future. > > - -- > Charles N Wyble ([email protected]) > Systems craftsman for the stars > http://www.knownelement.com > Mobile: 626 539 4344 > Office: 310 929 8793 > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ > > iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJNUgaFAAoJEMvvG/TyLEAteVwP/iZ/0b6im8NQhJXXIJxR+0V9 > 3vhg+UegyqimJJkMPnwKBdSrW/i2FBVDc1LHftkn1aEOjj5GamoeiAnV6umG3VbF > r23XC5vvUCr3drosgprLr3FHXi2wQE+D+ToYCB+YdU3bklvHD/AJ4hTZKfM6ZDJK > Vo4cNflKC28o+D9qlwvjheFflhkxf1dBl7eAJe+wvxtHXqgE/tfOig+20wRXBQea > ruyD40BWNLPOCqcjafHCto3zzgTMX03hqwKqT8a+bvdqOrAoAHsZUIv7RFhOY6Xv > oVMJZMDgzrZUUCq+LHBgZZ33+Xr94uABqKz+1JMjwdCPUNe8POBOU7st6RkHPjkj > l+J55/xlV7KMq3eS+pvGEVFY7Vt26oPo1AHhIvdutkrkYVtWmAvcmPQAReTmUfZQ > QsdGv/U/mqms2Kd0ujSaGFvQk8kwC5Nl5Hi7nnObc5nbRao53z/KiB4PGycfIiw9 > N5IcL8Cay+nl+OqYYX4VdIU2laWFQh7Vst5ZH+MXk3wXvGFb0TIKexLimAdXO66Z > 3kHWXYZhEUAQ+QQQ6mJLKWAly1tlmyL3FqLrUQKNpISEWpysqOuxxpBw8jlwrdaj > Xq9F36fRZvj8CqyImQdPQaFQq5NKdANMHTXS5b3G8cBNF1/NJQUJb/8ecwuK2iw6 > FtnI80BWXzQwIe/bfPci > =3Dzr > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > WISPA Wants You!
