Just Two items on FCC's June 9 Agenda

The Federal Communications Commission released the agenda for its June 9 meeting and there's just two items. The FCC will consider:

• Electronic Tariff Filing System Report and Order: A Report and Order that enables all carriers that file tariffs with the FCC to do so electronically, thereby streamlining their filing processes while also making tariff information more readily accessible to other carriers and the public.
• Space Path Interference Report and Order: A Second Report and Order adopting technical rules to mitigate space path interference between the 17/24 GHz Broadcasting-Satellite Service (BSS) space stations and current and future Direct Broadcasting Service (DBS) space stations that operate in the same frequency band. (IB Docket No. 06-123)
• The Chief of the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau and the Assistant Administrator of FEMA will also give a presentation regarding the Emergency Alert System.

Dropped from the preliminary agenda:

• Wider Channel Bandwidths FNPRM: An FNPRM seeking comment on a proposal which may permit operators to use spectrum more efficiently by enabling the use of wider channel bandwidths for the provision of broadband services in the Broadband Radio Service (BRS) and the Educational Broadband Service (EBS).
