Oh you missed that? Out of band emissions limits will be based on
EIRP instead of Tx power. So a linksys router with a 3db antenna
probably doesn't have to change anything, but anything with big
panels/dishes/sectors has to reduce their OOB emissions accordingly.
The end result is staying legal in 5ghz will require expensive filters
added to the equipment, or a reduction in tx power, or a reduction in
antenna gain, or a combination of the three.
I think that's about the size of it.
Ok What did I miss. New 5ghz rules???

So did all you folks stop worrying about the 5 GHz rules? They are
already
a done deal, the end of new equipment authorization is coming
soon, to be
followed by end of sale.
Seems like this is as big an issue if not bigger than having to
pay into USF
which, let's face it, we just turn around and add as a
below-the-line charge
on customer bills. Customers have already proved they don't pay
attention
to below-the-line charges, plus all the competition would be doing
it as
well. The main downside I see is if they increase the size of the
CAF fund
and our big competition gets even more subsidies to overbuild us.

You should change it to, "when required by corrupt, geriatric,
ignorant, and
moronic government politicians". There is no question why Obama is
pushing
this, he is an ideological idiot with absolutely no management or
economic
skills. Add to that his feelings are hurt that the rest of the
country is
now seeing him for the egomaniac immature child that he is.
Wheeler is now
just trying to keep his job temporarily but I guarantee is trying
to find a
way out of this that preserves his lobbying business. The second
he can
get out, preserve his reputation, and probably not let his boss
destroy the
country and his future/former clients any further economically
than he
already has, including the 1200 new regulations taking effect now
that will
cost at least $200B this year alone, he's gone.
All I know is I didn't go far enough with my Tom Wheeler article.
Obama
blindsided me on his need to destroy another industry and make
government
bigger.

We have always had the disclaimer in our service agreement that it
would
include taxes/surcharges if/when required by the government.
Doesn't make
it taste any better, but it covers the reality.
