On Friday the FCC sent out a release (WT Docket 99-87) seeking public comments on narrowband deadline waivers filed by about 21 public safety entities. One has to wonder whether or not a declaratory ruling is on the horizon. APCO, a public safety coordinator serving fire and police, appear to be in favor of an extension of the deadline. Their comments can be viewed here.
In November of last year a bill was introduced in the house seeking a two year extension. Thus far there have been no co-sponsores and it does not appear to have progressed beyond committie.
If you wish to weigh in on this the Commission directs these comments here:
Electronic Filers: File comments electronically using the Internet by accessing the ECFS:
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/ecfs/ or the Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov.
Filers should follow the instructions provided on the website for submitting comments.
