FCC Proposed Rules for Citizens Broadband Service
|
According to the FCC's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FCC 12-148):
With this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Notice), we propose to create a new Citizens Broadband Service in the 3550-3650 MHz band (3.5 GHz Band) currently utilized for military and satellite operations, which will promote two major advances that enable more efficient use of radio spectrum: small cells and spectrum sharing. The 3.5 GHz Band was identified by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) for shared federal and non-federal use in the 2010 Fast Track Report. Our proposal builds on our experience with spectrum sharing in the television white spaces (TVWS), proposes ideas teed up in our recent Notice of Inquiry on Dynamic Spectrum Access technologies, and broadly reflects recommendations made in a recent report by the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). We also seek comment on whether to include under these proposed new, flexible rules the neighboring 3650-3700 MHz band, which is already used for commercial broadband services. Together, these proposals would make up to 150 megahertz of contiguous spectrum available for innovative mobile and fixed wireless broadband services without displacing mission-critical incumbent systems.
