Apparently, introducing a digital technology that has had the pleasure of operating in spectrum where there are only 25 kHz exclusive channel assignments is viewed as progress by the FCC. Of course, in the 150-512 MHz bands, such exclusive channels are few and far between.

We have recently observed that less than 10% of the Industrial/Business applications filed at the FCC since the beginning of the year for new wireless systems have been granted. Further, apparently not a single application that would modify an existing Industrial/Business license has been granted since January 1st.

I know that it has been reported the folks at FM Approvals are now willing to delay implementation of the effective date of the new intrinsically safe (IS) standard, but why do I sense that all they have really provided is the proverbial sleeves off their vest?

I like it when the FCC demands that licensees stand up and be accountable for systems using critical spectrum that appear not to have been constructed. In a recent case, an organization with a home base in New York City received a license grant in 2009 as a private carrier for ten VHF frequency pairs at four sites in the State of Oregon.
