Is that still proceeding if the shut down is still in effect on that date?

According to the notice they sent out today it is.

I cannot even query the ULS for a pending application. I seriously doubt they will be having a meeting next week.

Item #2 discusses making sharing (very unusual for this or any FCC) 24, 28, 37, 39, and 47 GHz licenses easier to do with the satellite operators and almost seemingly misses the point - all that paperwork could be avoided if the FCC held a reverse auction and let Elon and Bezos duke it out

What is so damn special about satellite operations that they don't ever have to fight for their frequencies? hmm
