While staffers for FCC Chairman Ajit Pai aren’t signaling yet what he will recommend on the contentious question of what to do about priority access licenses in the 3.5 GHz citizens broadband radio service (CBRS) band, growing industry speculation is Pai will propose a compromise. Rather than auction all the PALs on a census-tract basis, or as much larger partial economic areas, the FCC would take a varied approach.

NAPM's transition oversight manager (TOM), PwC, "has no plan for rolling back" LNPA functions to Neustar if iconectiv systems fail, said the incumbent in a Wednesday webinar presentation.
