REGULATORY FLEXIBILITY CALLED KEY TO BROADBAND INTERNET
January 19, 2001 |Miscellaneous

SAN JOSE, Cal. - Telecom leaders need to develop regulatory strategy and regulators should become more flexible and less prescriptive, panelists said at Wireless Communications Assn. annual technology symposium here Wed. Regulators can help improve Internet broadband access and promote innovation by imposing regulations that are “technology-neutral,” said Industry Canada Spectrum Engineering Deputy Dir. Gen. Veena Rawat. Canadian regulatory agencies, she said, were moving away from “prescriptive, detailed technical standards” in favor of minimum constraints and only “essential technical rules.”

NTIA TESTS SHOW MIXED RESULTS FOR UWB DEVICES IN NON-GPS BANDS
January 19, 2001 by Mary Greczyn|Miscellaneous

NTIA reported mixed results Thurs. in first round of ultra- wideband (UWB) tests in non-GPS band, pointing to “potential” to operate that wireless technology in 3-6 GHz range without interference. “The test results today show a great deal of promise between 3 and 6 GHz,” NTIA Dir. Gregory Rohde said at news briefing. But tests also found “difficulties” with interference in bands below 3 GHz, occupied by systems such as airport surveillance radar and federal govt. systems. Rohde said results set stage in coming weeks for negotiations between FCC and NTIA over final rule on UWB operation in GPS and non-GPS bands. Difficulties in bands below 3 GHz at certain distances between UWB devices and other systems could be mitigated through measures such as requiring devices in certain cases to operate indoors, Rohde said. “It’s not that a door has been closed here,” he said.
