FCC Begins Lifting T-Band Application Freeze with Initial Focus on Incumbents

Very good news indeed, especially for some who have been stuck in neutral for nearly a decade. (y)

For anyone wondering whether they are going to implement the narrowband requirement in T-Band (which had been waived by the FCC in April 2012), this bit here provides a clue...

The FCC said it will process accepted applications in accordance with its rules. The freeze remains in place for major applications that do not meet narrowbanding requirements.

And a Footnote of the latest order indicates the NB waivers will end at a yet to be announced future date.

Most T-band users in the DFW are already narrow or very-narrow already. But unfortunately television repacking has killed T-band in DFW. It works great for low sites, but any trunking networks have gotten killed on the receive side at the towers.
