Some thoughts......
I agree that we should support Continental for the following reasons:
The use of the wireless system used by Continental is constructed in space
used exclusively by Continental and/or its agents, clients, employees and
cannot be used by any others. As such it is not considered "common" in
term.
The system uses unlicensed spectrum which has, as we all know, the usual
"You can't interfere with me...I can't interfere with you" rules of Part
15. And they (Massport) cannot complain about interference to their
operations without proving same is occuring. And if Continental is
interfering with Massport's system, they should be contacting the
Commission's Enforcement Bureau. Obviously that has not occured (to the
best of our knowledge). The Commission already has type accepted the
equipment in use and, as such, Massport cannot complain about "health
risks".
The requirement to use the master antenna system would result in
Continental's signal being broadcast all over the airport rather than the
specific area required by Continental. This leads to spectral waste by
distributing Continental's signal all over Massport's facilities. In
addition, there is now an increased chance of experiencing interference to
Continental's operations as well as increased security risk as the signal
is now more accessible over a larger area.
No entity should have a right to restrict the use of RF spectrum that is
presently governed by the Federal Communications Commission. While the
pettition does not pertain to this matter directly, Continental's lease
agreement with Massport "reaks" or attempts to "coordinate frequency use".
An effort should be made to have the Commission admonish Massport for its
attempts to perform a function for which they are not authorized under the
Commission's rules.
And finally.......I dislike greedy landlords.......The only reason they
(Massport) are even making an issue is because there is more money at
stake. And this is no different than paying a "license fee" or "frequency
coordination fee" for which the Federal Communications Commission says
there should be none.
Maybe Continental could become the "official WISPA air carrier" after we
reply....... :-D
I'm sure I can come up with more but these are the main thoughts that come
to mind.

Thanks Harold!
Guys, it seems to me that we should jump in bed with Continental on this
issue. This same rule would certainly apply to mesh type systems or aps
which have, thus far, not been covered under OTARD.
Thoughts?
