So what kind of settlement do we anticipate as compensation to Verizon and AT&T for allowing them to bid and purchase spectrum and then not allowing them to capture value from that spectrum, post-purchase? Seems like a slam dunk for a hefty payout of some kind.
- InitialLastName 5y agoYou could pull it directly out of the pockets of the aircraft manufacturers who had years of opportunities to flag and fix these issues, too.

- p_l 5y agoIn "aviation time", they turned up yesterday. Allocations everywhere else either are further away from radar altimeter frequencies, or follow similar mitigations to those proposed by FAA... for the very reason that aviation world was involved from the get go. But FCC selling allocation all the way to 3.98GHz with no mitigations happened very recently, while there are still worries (that are being verified) that 400MHz guard band might be not enough in case of transmitter failure.
