bigsnake49 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Dish Network is petitioning the FCC for waiver of certain technical rules governing a terrestrial deployment on its 20 MHz of AWS-4 spectrum as well as a one-year extension for that deployment. In a document filed yesterday, Dish said the waiver and extra time will give it the opportunity to determine if it will use its spectrum (2000-2020 MHz) for downlink or for uplink. Dish promised to take no longer than 30 months to make that distinction. In return for the FCC granting the waiver and time extension, Dish has promised to bid in the upcoming H Block auction for the paired 1915-1920 MHz and 1995-2000 MHz bands. Either directly or indirectly through an affiliated entity, Dish promised to bid “at least a net clearing price equal to any aggregate nationwide reserve price established by the Commission in the upcoming H Block auction (not to exceed the equivalent of $0.50 per MHz/POP).” http://www.wirelessweek.com/news/2013/09/dish-agrees-bid-h-block-auction-if-fcc-gives-it-more-time-aws-4-deployment I would love for the FCC to slap them around a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert I feel really bad saying this, but I can't tell if you're saying you now work for the FCC, or if this is some kind of pop culture reference I don't know about.

JeffDTD Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Whats the current deployment requirement? They need 1 extra year but 30 months to study their plan? I love that CharChar thinks that guaranteeing a bid in the H block is a magical carrot. "C'mon, give me what I want and I promise to tie up even more spectral resources with my unknown network setup and impossible deplyment schedule (pay no attention to my threats to sell the company)" Sent from my Note II. Its so big. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news, Asian racism really bothers me, but it's seen as normal, even passe, in many English speaking countries. Such unthinking acceptance is the core of it.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4 lol? no need to get offended, it was more a general statement than anything directed at you. My comment was a reference to the fact that "asians speak bad engrish" or "funny asian accent" are common jokes with racist undertones.

I completely understand. I was just pointing out something typical of Americans in particular, a lack of understanding of basic geography. These "Americans" will look at you funny if you mention "The Americas", or will tell you that Chechnya and the Czech Republic are the same thing.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4 He's fought people so long and so consistently in the legal arena that it is an inevitability that the legal avenues he takes would backfire on him at some point.
