Hello NLRS land -

As you may know an investment group, Mimosa Network, has petitioned the FCC to add wireless broadband service to the 10.0 to 10.5 GHz spectrum.   You can read about Mimosa Networks at http://mimosa.co/  .   You can read some general background information about the proposal, referred to as FCC RM-11715, on the ARRLs website at http://www.arrl.org/news/fcc-invites-public-comment-on-petition-affecting-10-10-5-ghz-band .    The proposal itself, RM-11715, can be found at http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/view?id=7022310834  .

The FCC is currently seeking public comments on this proposal.  The window for comments closes April 10.   

Providing a comment to this proposal is easy.  The FCC link is http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/hotdocket/list .  Once there you can search for and read the public comments that have been provided so far.  To do this, at the top left click on "Search for Files".  In the window that pops up type in "RM-11715" in the Proceedings Number box and then click on "Search for Comments" button at the bottom.  This will take you to the RM-11715 comments where you can click on any of the comments "View" link to read the comment.   

To provide a comment on the proposal click on "Submit a Filing (Express)" then find "RM-11715" and click on it.  That will open up a screen that will ask you for your name, your address, and it provides a text field to type in your comments.  Pretty easy.

NLRS has responded.  Our response is filed under my name, Jon Platt, as I wasn't aware that it "Name" that shows up ..... I should have entered NLRS.  None the less the response itself states NLRS.  Central States VHFS has also filed a response.   

Please take a look at the type of responses provided to the FCC and think about providing input yourself.   Again, the window for comments closes April 10.

73, Jon
