Gift from the 'gods of control'? 'We're revising the rules to take advantage of technology,' FCC chairman William Kennard said. 'Because the technology has improved and our rules have to keep up.' Thank-you. Now do we kiss your feet or... Sorry gang, I must be in a bad mood. Thanks for the post Mr. Piturro.

What? The rules are changing? No, they say in this here thread, that ain't possible!!! Personally, I disagree with it in the present. They need to allocate more spectrum to the exsisting license holders to keep pace with demand, not allow consolidation. 'We're revising the rules to take advantage of technology,' FCC chairman William Kennard said. 'Because the technology has improved and our rules have to keep up.' Gee that from the head commissairs mouth... Come on Skippy, why don't you rebuke this????

You are responding to this message from michael piturro on Sep 15 1999 .................. >>>>>>WASHINGTON, Sept 14 (Reuters) - The Federal Communications Commission on Wednesday is expected to ease ownership limits on licenses to offer wireless telephone service, in a move to help carriers roll out new Internet and data services, according to people familiar with the agency's discussions.<<<<<<<<<< This too was an area I discussed previously on the back line, while Q was plummeting a few days back. I saw the potential of investors believing the expanded capacity limits might be a hindrance to a timely rollout of CDMA (the existing limits being a plus for an early CDMA overlay to conserve bandwidth). G.Moore thought this might actually be an incentive to progress for the rollout of the services, hence a bullish indicator for the entire industry. The conclusion as to how the investors in Q would take this (imo foregone conclusion of increased capacity limits by the FCC on 9.15.99 meeting)was one of "never know how the investors will react, but if it is good for the industry, it will eventually be good for Q". eom
