Call To Action for RegulatorsCall To Action for Regulators

• 2.3/2.5 GHz – Allow technologies – such as 802.16 -- which fulfill new

mobile services model and can address the broadband digital divide.

• 3.5 GHz – Explicitly allow Nomadic use in Fixed Wireless

spectrum to support indoor modems and laptops– Also access to 3.3-3.4 & 3.6-3.8 GHz bands

• 5.8 GHz– Unlicensed fixed outdoor services– Power output @ 4W EIRP (or 200 mW/MHz)
