There seems to have been some useful reactions since our April
conversation :-)

Linked off that site I see Joly recorded an interesting event

kudos.

There is a danger that warding off such snaffling attempts on open
spectrum usage gets drowned out in the broader NTIA and US electoring
noise. Vint makes a powerful point that such actions in 3GPP should be
multi stakeholder as they are policy based not purely technical
decisions. Some years ago in ISTF we had a number of discussions that
touched on the demarcations.

Does ISOC have a paper or analysis or would be interested in such to
share on the implications of this not just in US but for development and
innovation / public access services across the world ?

A useful blog by Dave Burstein. A rare case where the portal of the term
5G has some substance behind it.

With IEEE in London http://icc2015.ieee-icc.org/ this June 8-12. Is this
an opportunity for a BoF ?
