Still time…

This is it! These are the 4.9 GHz comments that will tip the scales in PSSA/FirstNet’s favor at the FCC. A Bert Norton recently advised the FCC that he supports “the position and comments of the Public Safety Spectrum Alliance (PSSA). The 4.9 GHz spectrum should remain solely for the use of public safety. I am opposed to sharing this spectrum with commercial users and dispersing the management out to the states. The most logical step to take is to put it in the stewardship of the FirstNet Authority. As such, I encourage the FCC to take immediate action on the Petition for Reconsideration, in addition to lifting the freeze on 4.9 GHz licensing.”  I fear that Mr. Norton’s pleas may be relegated to the FCC’s comment abyss as it is customary and helpful to advise the FCC who you are, where you are and why you have an interest in the 4.9 GHz proceeding. Mr. Nelson provided no such information. However, a little Google research revealed that Mr. Norton may be the same Fire Chief at the Midwest City Fire Department in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.  I doubt that this is a coincidence. So that Chief Norton’s comments are not for naught, someone should advise Chief Norton to introduce himself to the FCC and note that he was the author of these comments.There is still time.

  • The advocacy and regulatory issues are very important to our business, and, without EWA, we would have no voice. Nobody is speaking up for players like us in Washington except EWA.

  • A Beep has been a happy customer of Spectrum Intel since its launch. It’s easy to use, the information is much more accessible, and the service includes extra features that other license activity reporting services don’t have. Spectrum Intel saves my team time each week.

  • It’s remarkable what we’ve been able to do with EWA’s support. It’s a collaborative effort that has allowed Midland to deliver unparalleled support to our customers. No one else has the depth of understanding of FCC rules, which has resulted in more application grants. Midland Communications has a profound appreciation for EWA’s advocacy efforts. It has allowed us to have a voice before the FCC.

  • We use EWA for all of our FCC license applications. The staff at EWA provide outstanding customer service and do all they can to see that applications are granted. EWA does a super job of staying on top of situations that affect our ability to file license applications and serve customers. EWA’s Regulatory Call keeps us informed about what is happening with the FCC and their online systems.

  • It’s not just about finding frequencies. It’s about finding the RIGHT frequencies for that customer, and EWA excels every time at that. We would not be moving forward without EWA.
