TIA Submits Comments on Proposed FCC Spectrum Rules for Commercial Operations in 1695-1710 MHz, 1755-1780 MHz, and 2155-2180 MHz Bands(Targeted News Service Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 18 -- The Telecommunications Industry Association issued the following news release: The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), the leading association representing the manufacturers and suppliers of high-tech communications networks, today filed comments with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on the Commission's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing rules for spectrum in the 1695-1710 MHz, 1755-1780 MHz, and 2155-2180 MHz bands, which are referred to collectively as AWS-3, that would make significantly more commercial spectrum available for Advanced Wireless Services (AWS). "Despite a broad national consensus for making more spectrum available, four and a half years after the National Broadband Plan came out, only limited progress hasbeen made toward this goal," said Grant Seiffert, TIA President. "A protracted proceeding over AWS-3 would delay availability further. To the extent that the complexities in the other bands under consideration may delay action, the Commission should consider bringing the 1755-1780 MHz / 2155-2180 MHz band to market first."
