He was responding to a Bloomberg News report that LightSquared’s technology had failed tests with three-quarters of general navigation devices. Executives expressed confidence that the FCC will by March approve its operation. They said they will make fallback plans only in the event of an unexpected rejection.
The FCC wants feedback on a retrospective review of regulations. A public notice asked four questions about the work on “identifying outmoded or counterproductive rules.” Chairman Julius Genachowski had released a preliminary plan for the review, as the agency does away with some rules (CD Nov 8 p5). “What additional steps should the Commission take to identify rules that should be changed, streamlined, consolidated, or removed,” Friday’s notice asked. “How can the Commission further reduce burdens on industry and consumers while fostering competition, diversity and innovation?” What if any requirements “are duplicative” or conflict with FCC bureaus and offices or with other agencies, the commission asked. It also wants to know whether rules or reporting requirements can be changed “to better accomplish their regulatory objectives.” Comments are due Feb. 8, replies Feb. 22, in docket 11-199, the commission said (http://xrl.us/bmkmfe).
