Steve, Mark:
The next formal milestone will be a Public Notice
of the received petitions, starting the clock on a 30-day comment period.
Experienced FCC watchers suggest it may be another month or more before we see
the public notice. At any time between now and the end of that 30-day
period it is possible to submit a "denial of petition" request asking that
specific petition(s) be denied. The Wi-Fi Alliance Regulatory Task Group
is currently discussing this option.
My understanding is that the FCC will then start a
Reply Comment period. This 15-day period is for commenting on the
comments. Then, the final step should be a final R&O.
Considering the importance of this ruling, and that
the new FCC chairman will probably not be confirmed until July, it is difficult
to predict the actual timing.
I hope this helps.
Rich

Mark
and Rich,
Keeping an eye on this is a good idea. What is the next step in the FCC
process? I assume the ball is in the FCC court since industry has
submitted a number of petitions. When would we expect to see something
from the FCC?
Regards,
Steve
I support Rich's recommendation.

I
agree on the very general guidelines, as they presumably fit within the
charter of the Coexistence TAG. I would also recommend that the group
maintain a tight liaison with the Radio Regulatory TAG, as the FCC has
received quite a number of petitions for reconsideration, many of which would
significantly impact the coexistence rules as they will finally be
written.
For a
useful summary of the petitions see

Based
on the telecon today my recommendation for the initial workplan is as
follows:
1.
develop a set of use cases for coexistence and collaboration in the TV White
Space Bands between:
different types
of IEEE 802 devices
between
IEEE 802 devices and non 802 devices
2.
based on the Use Cases develop recommendations for further actions
with IEEE 802.
I
believe that starting with these two work items will encompass the broadest
possible set of comments from today's telecon.

On tonight?s call we discussed the draft TVWS coexistence
plan,
We will continue that discussion on next week?s conference
call.
If you have comments on the plan you can also make those comments on the
802.19 email reflector. If you are not already on the email reflector
you can join here,
If you have comments on the plan please be specific regarding what changes
you would like to make to the document. You can recommend adding text,
changing text or removing text. Please specify what changes you would
recommend. That would enable others to comment on your
recommended changes.
