Extending a Construction Notification Deadline
The storms in Florida in 2017 displaced lives, disrupted routines and destroyed buildings. An EWA member sought EWA’s guidance and FCC filing assistance to extend a pending construction deadline as it was determined the one-year build-out requirement could not be satisfied as planned wireless system structural facilities critical to the project had been destroyed. Not wanting to wait, with EWA’s support, the licensee submitted a request for an extension early noting that it was necessary to rebuild facilities before the communications system could be constructed.
