RE: stds-802-16: sub10. On the Frequency Bands of Interest for 802.16.sub10
I think it is important to note that the 3.4-3.7 GHz band is also used in
North and South America for FWA services under a variety of channel block
arrangements . I would support the inclusion of this band provided that the
scope is not restricted to the CEPT band plans.

Subject: stds-802-16: sub10. On the Frequency Bands of Interest for
802.16.sub10
Seen from the business viewpoint, there is at the moment a big
interest in wireless point to multipoint solutions for SoHo and
high-end residential segments, for the provision of data traffic, in
particular access to Internet and Intranets, LAN-to-LAN
interconnection and data-based VPNs.
This is derived from several aspects, such as the de-regularization
process around the world and the enabling of suitable, cost-effective
wireless technologies for those services and applications.
To suit these solutions, operators are looking for licensed frequency
spectrum bands, as a way to have control of the volume of
infrastructure required and proper offering of Quality of Service to
their customers.
It is therefore advisable to consider as high priority within the
scope of IEEE 802.16sub10 the most important licensed frequency bands
identified below 10 GHz, specifically the (2.5-2.686) GHz US MMDS band
and the (3.4-3.7) GHz CEPT band
Unlicensed bands might be considered as well, although with minor
priority, as their use for public applications is doubtful for the
reasons mentioned above, while on the other hand private applications
are already covered by suitable, consolidated IEEE 802 standards
