Today's Regulatory Mix: FCC to Hold May 13th Open Meeting by Teleconference

FCC to Hold May 13th Open Meeting by Teleconference

The FCC announced it will hold an Open Meeting on Wednesday, May 13, 2020, which is scheduled to commence at 10:30 a.m.  

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic and related agency telework and headquarters access policies, this meeting will be in a wholly electronic format and will be open to the public on the Internet via live feed from the FCC’s web page at http://www.fcc.gov/live and on the FCC’s YouTube channel. Because of these special circumstances, the items listed for consideration are expected to be voted prior to the meeting.

Although none of the items directly affect our telecom clients some of the topics include: a review of the FCC's Rules Governing the 896-901/935-940 MHz Band; facilitating the deployment of geostationary-satellite orbit and non- geostationary-orbit fixed-satellite service earth stations that operate while in motion; and a proposed assessment of a regulatory fee on non-U.S. licensed space stations with United States market access.
