High-band frequencies, combined with mid- and low-band spectrum will collectively afford end users, whether people or objects, the right mix of coverage and capacity needed to support 5G use cases. Right now in the U.S., AT&T and Verizon are both tapping millimeter wave frequencies to roll-out commercial 5G services later this year. AT&T is promising a standards-based mobile service in 12 markets by year-end, while Verizon is planning to deploy fixed wireless access to provide residential broadband services in three to five markets by the end of 2018. https://www.rcrwireless.com/20180712/policy/fcc-millimeter-wave-spectrum-auctions-tag17 -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20180712010551.GA15902@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2018 21:05:51 -0400 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Federal Contractor TCPA Liability A Loophole, Group Says By Christopher Crosby Law360 (July 9, 2018) -- A trade group for hundreds of federal contractors has asked the Federal Communications Commission to strike a clause from its Telephone Consumer Protection Act rules that may undermine their shield from robocall lawsuits, saying it appears to have been mistakenly added. https://www.law360.com/telecom/articles/1061112/federal-contractor-tcpa-liability-a-loophole-group-says?nl_pk=f21e3e20-c2d8-490d-899f-1e657ec763e0&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=telecom&read_more=1 -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Fri, 13 Jul 2018
