  • 2021-03425 — Reallocation of 470-512 MHz (T-Band) Spectrum
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 10278
    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued a notice to close the PS Docket No. 13-42 about reallocating the 470-512 MHz spectrum, also known as the T-Band. This decision follows the signing of the "Don't Break Up the T-Band Act," which repeals the requirement to reallocate and auction these frequencies. Initially, the FCC had planned to auction these frequencies, but with the law change, there is no longer a need to proceed with this plan.

    Simple Explanation

    The government decided to keep using a special radio section called the T-Band for emergency helpers like police and firefighters, instead of selling it to companies. This choice was made after a new law said not to change who uses the radio band.

  • 2021-02772 — Modernizing Unbundling and Resale Requirements in an Era of Next-Generation Networks and Services; Correction
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 8872
    Reading Time:less than a minute

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued a correction to a previously published rule aimed at adjusting unbundling and resale requirements to support technology upgrades and broadband deployment. The initial document from January 8, 2021, contained a typo, incorrectly mentioning "Availability of DS1 loops" instead of the correct term, "Availability of DS3 loops." This correction took effect on February 8, 2021. For any questions, Megan Danner from the FCC's Competition Policy Division is the point of contact.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC made a small fix to some rules by correcting a typo in their document to help make internet services better, changing the mention of "DS1 loops" to "DS3 loops". This is about making sure more people can have faster internet, and Megan from the FCC can answer questions if anyone's confused.
