That segment has been in the National Broadband Plan since the initial list of target bands was created by NTIA and FCC. But that initial list, according to DoD, was created by some consultants without knowledge of current DoD deployments and we were told to not worry about that. We will of course check with Fred Moorefield again about this. Chris On Fri, Mar 4, 2016 at 9:28 AM, Doug Rehman <doug@k4ac.com> wrote:

It does specifically target our allocation, albeit not in the initial spectrum group. Look at the bottom of page 9—3.1 GHz-3.550 GHz.

Hello Doug and Tom -
One real issue is that there is incumbent use on some of
the spectrum that is targeted that cannot easily be moved. Perhaps
some of the other members of the ODV can comment on the
present current uses and the impact that this proposal might
have impact to military uses.
While this Senate bill identifies a segment from 3550-3700 MHz
for 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.

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.
