Flarion's (QCOM) IP was to be the basis for 802.20, not 802.22. The effort by 802.22 has ALWAYS been rural-focused, and thus the sub 1 GHz bands, specifically the white spaces/TV bands.

Glad to hear the efforts are underway. Isn't Flarion's IP based closely on what will be 802.22? Was there an earlier effort for 802.22 standards development that was spectrum agnostic? This caught me completely by surprise. Thanks for the info Steve and welcome back to writing for our industry. We missed your crystal ball. :-) Steve, could you send us a link(s) to where we can find what you are writing these days?
