Since the last statutory changes in July 2021, the FTSA has severely impacted telemarketing and text marketing businesses marketing to Florida residents and otherwise conducting business in the state. Like the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the FTSA prohibits using automated dialers to call or text consumers without their consent. https://www.mondaq.com/article/news/1326602?q=1803232&n=813&tp=14&tlk=10&lk=77

  • Over 100 incumbents (including PG&E) have voiced concerns withUnlicensed Use of 6 GHz
  • Many concerns included technical analysis and papers showing basis forconcerns
  • 6 Real-World tests filed, all show impact to licensed microwave link’sFade Margin (FM)
    • Latest is FirstEnergy/EPRI testing and analysis showing 4 dB impact to FM from consumer deployed LPI APs at 2% penetration to total APs
    • Wi-Fi 7’s 320MHz channels will exacerbate the effect
  • Impact to FM increases annual unplanned outage time (see graph basedon TIA-10)
