Hello Doug and Tom - One real issue is that there is incumbent use on some ofthe spectrum that is targeted that cannot easily be moved. Perhapssome of the other members of the ODV can comment on the present current uses and the impact that this proposal mighthave impact to military uses. While this Senate bill identifies a segment from 3550-3700 MHzfor re-allocation, should the bill change and possibly identify a segment any lower than 3500 MHz then it would impact our allocation at 3300-3500 MHz. This will need to be watched closely. 73, Kermit W9XA From: Doug Rehman <doug@k4ac.com> To: arrl-odv <arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> Sent: Friday, March 4, 2016 8:11 AM Subject: [arrl-odv:25199] 3 GHz Band in Sights of Senate Bill <!--#yiv2495300364 _filtered #yiv2495300364 {font-family:"Cambria Math";panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;} _filtered #yiv2495300364 {font-family:Calibri;panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;}#yiv2495300364 #yiv2495300364 p.yiv2495300364MsoNormal, #yiv2495300364 li.yiv2495300364MsoNormal, #yiv2495300364 div.yiv2495300364MsoNormal {margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri", sans-serif;}#yiv2495300364 a:link, #yiv2495300364 span.yiv2495300364MsoHyperlink {color:#0563C1;text-decoration:underline;}#yiv2495300364 a:visited, #yiv2495300364 span.yiv2495300364MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:#954F72;text-decoration:underline;}#yiv2495300364 span.yiv2495300364EmailStyle17 {font-family:"Calibri", sans-serif;color:windowtext;}#yiv2495300364 .yiv2495300364MsoChpDefault {font-family:"Calibri", sans-serif;} _filtered #yiv2495300364 {margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in;}#yiv2495300364 div.yiv2495300364WordSection1 {}--><http://www.commerce.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/8805bde8-408f-4b5e-a5fa-d867eed9d84f/146C427A5D018C04CE7E9C925D398163.mobile-now-act.pdf> The Mobile Now Act is moving through the Senate. It is similar to legislation Rubio had filed in 2014 in that it seeks to make Federal spectrum available for next generation wireless services. While not in the initial proposed spectrum shift, the 3 GHz band is specifically targeted (see bottom of page 9) with a feasibility report on commercial access due 3 years after enactment of the Act.
