On November 29 2021, the Enterprise Wireless Alliance (EWA) has filed comments  urging the Commission to adopt rules in response to the Eighth Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) that will enable the 4.9 GHz band to reach its full potential. The FCC’s FNPRM confirmed that this band must continue to maximize its use by public safety entities, but also explored various models for shared spectrum use. In its comments, EWA recommended the FCC adopt the National Public Safety Telecommunications Council (NPSTC) plan recommended in 2013, which NPSTC has continued to endorse over the past eight years.
