Mike,
I’m glad to hear that, as it fits directly with my main premise,
that the spectrum not be technology specific. I assume the letter has been
modified appropriately to remove the 802.22 references.

MHz Operation (India)
Brian and Reza,
Based on the discussion on yesterday’s conference call the
letter is to lobby for more technology neutral spectrum and not touch on the
licensed or unlicensed use. Administrations will implement these bands as they
feel is best for their requirements.
While many 802 technologies are used in an unlicensed mode that
is not always the case. For example in some administrations the use of 802.11
in the 2.4 GHz band requires users to have a license. So it doesn’t seem useful
to label some 802 technologies as “unlicensed” only as that may imply that they
should not be permitted where an administration require users to obtain a
license.
Regards,
Mike

If the intent of the letter is to lobby for unlicensed
operation in that frequency band (TV White Spaces), then it should NOT be
limited to just 802.22, but should encompass any 802 unlicensed technology
aimed at that spectrum to include 802.11af, 802.19, or even 802.16h. From
both a market and regulatory perspective, making a band technology specific
is too limiting and is counter to the direction of where the industry (and most
regulators) are heading. The EC should change any references to “802.22”
to something like “IEEE 802 unlicensed technologies”.

802.22 Letter to the WPC for 470 - 698 MHz Operation (India)
The 802.22 Working Group would like to submit the following letter
to
the Wireless Planning and Co-ordination (WPC) Advisor in India through Indian
Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay. This letter was discussed during the
802.18 telecon held on Tuesday, Feb. 8th.
We
(802.22) would like to endorse the IIT Bombay proposal for license-exempt use
in the 470 – 698 MHz spectrum in India. IITs are the premier Engineering
institutes in India. IIT academics are very well respected all around the world
and they have been known to work closely with the Indian Govt. in the advisory
role. The IIT-Bombay proposal has been attached for your reference.
Please review the letter and let us know your comments if any by
Monday, Feb. 14th COB.
Chair, IEEE 802.22 Standard
