John, there is a daily release from the FCC that covers these things.
It's long and 99.9% of it doesn't apply to us. I rarely take the time to
scan it these days. I'll try to remember to post a signup link next time
one comes in.

Subject: [WISPA] Open Meeting on 700 MHz
Apparently there is a meeting scheduled today, April 25, at the FCC over
how the 700 MHz band is going to be split up for auction. It amazes me how
we can be kept in the dark about these meetings. If anyone can tell me how
to get included on announcements of such meetings I need to know about it.
This really angers me that we are not there with some representation
today. If anyone reads this who is near the DC area please go to this
meeting and tell them we need spectrum to be made available on a base
station license basis. They need to auction off individual base station
licenses or reserve some for a flat fee so all of us can compete. If they
do not then hundreds if not thousands of operators who are now serving
rural broadband will not be able to compete. This is an anti-competitive
problem that the FCC needs to address with this auction. This is a big
deal. If we do not get some 700 MHz or similar sub- 1 GHz spectrum it is
going to be very bad for us all.
