There are a few aspects of the deal that the FCC is still looking into, so Verizon and TracFone CEOs decided to quell some of the fears that the FCC expressed since the beginning of the year. Verizon CEO of the Consumer Group Ronan Dunne and TracFone CEO Eduardo Diaz Corona made some interesting comments during a teleconference with Acting FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel (via FierceWireless). https://www.phonearena.com/news/verizon-promises-tracfone-customers-5G-devices-services_id133365

It ultimately went with a broadcast-only system, but the language even back then suggested that this was a reflection on the needs of today's market and that future rules might, and probably should, include networked options. During that time, Commercial UAV News talked about the merits of broadcast versus networked remote ID, in which we suggested that the real solution was more of a both/and rather than an either/or approach as a necessary step in moving forward with achieving the long-term goals of the industry. https://www.commercialuavnews.com/infrastructure/the-moa-between-the-faa-and-skyward-brings-cellular-connectivity-for-drones-back-into-the-conversation
