CTIA Ex Parte Presentation - Service Rules for Advanced Wireless Services.WASHINGTON -- Today, CTIA (1) See CompTIA. (2) (Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association, Washington, DC, www.ctia.org, www.wow-com.com) A membership organization founded in 1984 that is involved with regulatory and public affairs issues in the wireless industry. filed an ex parte letter with the FCC (1) (Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, www.fcc.gov) The U.S. government agency that regulates interstate and international communications including wire, cable, radio, TV and satellite. The FCC was created under the U.S. detailing its concerns with proposed service and technical rules for AWS AWS Amazon Web Services AWS American Welding Society AWS Advanced Warning System AWS Advanced Wireless Services AWS Automatic Weather Station AWS Alien Workshop (skateboard company) AWS Austria Wirtschaftsservice GmbH spectrum bands. The FCC has scheduled a June 12 vote to adopt service and technical rules for 35-40 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. of Advanced Wireless Service (AWS) spectrum in the 2 GHz band - the H Block 1915-1920 MHz and 1995-2000 MHz; and the AWS-3 spectrum 2155 - 2180 MHz. The proposal for both blocks will cause interference into existing adjacent commercial mobile spectrum bands crucial for the deployment of mobile wireless broadband. Further, the proposal for the AWS-3 spectrum is distinctly tailored to advance the particular business model of one company -- a business model with a history of failure -- and in effect imposes a government subsidy for free broadband. In its letter, CTIA urges the Commission to take additional time to craft technical and service rules that will protect adjacent AWS-1 and PCS (1) (Personal Communications Services) Refers to wireless services that emerged after the U.S. government auctioned commercial licenses in 1994 and 1995. This radio spectrum in the 1. licensees and the millions of wireless subscribers who rely on their service.
