Comments about the best use of 4.9 GHz (4940 MHz to 4990 MHz) were due to the FCC in the latest proceeding about the airwaves, which traditionally have been dedicated to public safety but have been underutilized in the past, according to FCC commissioners. In the proceeding, the FCC is examining an alternative path for the band rather than implement the state-licensing scheme approved during the fall of 2020—rules that were halted last year.
