The Copyright Office said its five-year IT program modernization plan focuses on increasing stakeholders’ use of copyright registration and moving the office away from dependency on a large infrastructure base by using a “variety of cloud strategies.” A “provisional” version of the IT plan released Monday would move the CO’s current paper-based copyright registration to an “automated system where recording parties may enter their own information,” the CO said. Back-end improvements to CO online search functionality will give all stakeholders “dynamic access to the Office’s recordation data,” and the CO will better integrate siloed registration data to provide “a more seamless chain of title from registration to licenses to transfers and the public domain,” the office said. Several copyright stakeholders voiced early praise Monday for the IT plan, saying its high-level priorities stick with the spirit of the CO's 2016-2020 strategic plan (see 1510230042 and 1512010061).

Signals from Ligado Networks' proposed LTE network at the power and out-of-band emission (OOBE) levels that the company has worked out with GPS companies don't appear to interfere with GPS navigation devices, according to Roberson and Associates testing commissioned by Ligado. The coexistence plan that Ligado has proposed has "sufficient limits in those adjacent band signals to ensure GPS receiver performance," Roberson Chief Technology Officer Ken Zdunek said Thursday on a news conference call discussing those test results and in a related filing posted in FCC docket 12-340.
