At a time when the FCC cannot even decide if it wants to keep open the 3650-3700 spectrum already set aside for non-exclusive sharing, Congress seems to be picking up the ball. Alas, I am swamped at the moment with work and visiting relatives, so I will refer you to this summary on boing-boing here.

@haroldfeld @communitynets @catherinedodd @scifri @b_fung @washingtonpost @Jon_Samet @ColoradoSPH @FCC @AjitPaiFCC @ilsr Cooperatives and small hometown companies alike! I would also note to the extent that we see more auction funding go to satellite & fixed wireless that isn’t scalable, the less likely we are to keep pace with consumer demand over time or provide that needed fiber backhaul for 5G.
A ray of light! How welcome! Even here on Wetmachine, where I am the patron of darkness.
