Breaker, Breaker: FCC Proposes 150 MHz for CB Radio
*WASHINGTON*--The Federal Communications Commission took steps to provide
more spectrum for general consumer use, carrier-grade small cell
deployments, fixed wireless broadband services, and other uses, through the
creation of a new Citizens Broadband Radio Service. The commission proposed
rules for the Citizens Broadband Radio Service in a Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking that advances the commission's efforts to meet the
growing demand for spectrum by proposing to make 150 MHz available in the
3.5 GHz band.

The FNPRM proposes innovative spectrum-sharing techniques to unlock the
value of the spectrum between 3,550 MHz and 3,650 MHz, and seeks comment on
extending the proposed service to 3,700 MHz.  Specifically, the FNPRM
proposes a three-tiered access and sharing model comprised of federal and
non-federal incumbents, priority access licensees, and general authorized
access users. Together, the proposals seek to promote flexibility and
innovation by leveraging advancements in technology to facilitate sharing
between different users and uses, including incumbent government uses.

Federal and non-federal incumbents would be protected from harmful
interference from CB  users.  Targeted priority access licenses would be
made available for a variety of uses, including mobile broadband. General
authorized access use would be permitted in a reserved amount of spectrum
and on an opportunistic basis for a variety of consumer or
business-oriented purposes, including advanced home wireless networking.

Access and operation within the 3.5 GHz band would be managed by a spectrum
access system, a dynamic database or databases that incorporates technical
and functional requirements necessary to manage access and operations
across the three tiers.  In addition, the FNPRM seeks comment on technical,
auction, and allocation rules.

The FNPRM builds on a substantial record already developed through a Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking, Public Notice, and two public workshops, and is the
product of cooperative work with incumbent federal users.

Action by the commission April 23, 2014, by Further Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (FCC 14-49).  Chairman Wheeler, Commissioners Clyburn,
Rosenworcel, and O'Rielly with Commissioner Pai concurring.  Chairman
Wheeler, Commissioners Clyburn, Rosenworcel, Pai and O'Rielly issuing
statements.  GN Docket No. 12-354
