FCC Proposal To Limit Access To 5725-5850 MHz Band

Posted by timothy on from the why-can't-they-call-it-a-name-like-the-eagles? dept.

New submitter thittesd0375 (1111917) writes New rules adopted by the FCC will greatly limit the amount of bandwidth available in the unlicensed U-NII band used to deliver internet to rural areas. The filters required to comply with the new rules would shrink the available frequencies from 125MHz to only 45MHz. Petitions to reconsider this ruling can be submitted here and previous petitions can be found here.

    Finland has a population density of 41 people per square mile. If it were a US state, it would rank 40th in density.

    Yet it also has an average internet speed around 5 times faster than the US average.
