The 3500-3750 MHz segment has been the target band in this range for some time now. I have not heard of any interest in 3300-3500 MHz and our DoD contact, Fred Moorefield, reports no threat to our shared allocation and tells us that he has some assignments in 3300-3500 that should be sufficient to steer away from that band. We will see. 73, Chris W3KD On Fri, Mar 4, 2016 at 9:22 AM, w9xa--- via arrl-odv < arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> wrote:
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.
