Amazon and Globalstar TLPS August 2013 Amazon and Globalstar TLPS In spite of dependence on Wi-Fi for Kindle and Kindle Fire they are choosing to work with Globalstar, considering TLPS for a Kindle network technology Amazon is pressing Mignon Clyburn, the interim Chairperson, to approve the Globalstar petition before Tom Wheeler takes over at the FCC What can we do? Take a more public stance against it (article only mentions Microsoft objection) http://www.fiercebroadbandwireless.com/story/rumor-amazons-tests-globalstar-tlps-are-part-home-media-hub-strategy/2013-08-25 File an ex parte asking the FCC to reject the Globalstar petition to protect Wi-Fi Rich Kennedy, BlackBerry Corporation
August 2013 From FCC 13-102 Increased Federal access 2025-2110 MHz and 5150-5250 MHz bands 82. As noted above, NTIA indicates that in certain Federal relocation scenarios, DoD and other Federal incumbents in the 1755-1850 MHz band would need access to other bands specifically, that certain aeronautical systems could relocate to the 2025-2110 MHz and 5150-5250 MHz bands. NTIA subsequently transmitted a more recent proposal from DoD that implicates the 2025-2110 MHz band but not the 5150-5250 MHz band. We seek comment on these and any alternative relocation concepts, including the viability of repacking incumbents into the 1780-1850 MHz band, recognizing that most commenters will not have access to information about Federal system characteristics or mission requirements. Nonetheless, we seek comment on the potential benefits and costs of implementing such a relocation, particularly with respect to existing and potential future uses of those bands. In section III.I below (Allocation Matters) we seek comment on any changes to the Table of Frequency Allocations that would be necessary. Rich Kennedy, BlackBerry Corporation
