FirstNet Releases Final Interpretations
Last week, FirstNet released two public notices (available here and here) that include more than 60 key legal interpretations and definitions. One definition finalized by FirstNet last week is the term “rural.” The definition adopted by the agency mirrors the definition under the Rural Electrification Act of 1936, which defines the term “rural” as any area that is not a city, town, or incorporated area with a population of greater than 20,000 inhabitants, or any urbanized area contiguous and adjacent to a city or town with a population of more than 50,000 inhabitants. FirstNet also confirmed it will require fee revenues from states assuming responsibility for building their own radio access networks (RANs) to be reinvested into the nationwide system.
FCC High Band Spectrum Proposal
The FCC will consider a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to create new service rules to promote additional use of certain bands above 24 GHz at its Open Meeting on October 22. The NPRM stems from a Notice of Inquiry issued by the Commission last year that sought input on how the Commission could revise its rules to enable mobile deployment in high-band spectrum. The NOI posed a series of questions relating to how the Commission should treat incumbents in the various bands that would be affected and whether the bands are suitable for mobile operations, including in the 70/80/90 GHz band used by critical infrastructure entities and others for point-to-point operations.
