[FLARES] Amateur Radio Bands Threat - New Public Safety ATLIS Band Proposed by Telesaurus Holdings

[Alan Dixon]

We should all be aware of this latest threat to the amateur bands,
RM-10403 (Pet-Recon RM-9664, PR Docket 92-257).  Warren Havens of
Telesaurus Holdings GB LLC, files with the FCC to propose several new
public safety and commercial radio bands, at 902-928 MHz, 217-225 MHz and
4.9 GHz.

And what about incumbent amateur operation on these bands?  To borrow a
couple of Haven's own words, hams will evidently become a "problem" to be
"Phase[d] out by the FCC".

I have to question, based on what Mr. Havens has said in his own
petition, whether he understands either the role or the day-to-day
functioning of the Amateur Radio Service.  It is not entirely clear to me
what Mr. Havens motivation is for this proposal.  For example, a major
shortcoming in the Havens petition concept is that we are presented with
a "solution" in search of a problem.

In any event, this threat is not to be taken lightly.

Kind regards,

Here is the proposal from Warren Havens and Telesaurus Holdings GB LLC,
DBA LMS Wireless, they propose to dedicate some 902-928 MHz, 217-225 MHz
and 4.9 GHz spectrum for public safety, critical infrastructure and
private enterprise use. Under the plan, portions of each band would be
available to specific user groups, while priority access on the private
enterprise spectrum would provide additional capacity to emergency
responders when  needed. Equipment would be multi-band. The proposal is
called an Advanced Technology Land Infrastructure and Safety Service
(ATLIS)
