Issa: Don't sell off airwaves for short-term gains

Issa making sense? Say it ain't so...

“Here in Washington, the American people have to communicate to their members of Congress and to the administration and to the FCC that it’s your spectrum, and the highest and best use of their spectrum is to make it available for all,” Issa said at an event sponsored by the WifiForward coalition, which includes major companies like Google, Comcast and Best Buy.

 

“Start explaining to people that it’s their spectrum that is being sold off just as deficits and debt sell off in the name of the next generation,” he added. “We can’t do one in the name of the other. Both have to be tackled.”

Very selfishly, I want it Part 15, Part 90 or Part 96. Then we can use it for fixed broadband. That will go through trees whereas what we have now won't.

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
    • Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
