NO POLITICS HERE This doesn't mean that nothing is ever published here that mentions a US political party—it just means that the editorial policy of this newsletter is to remain neutral on all political issues. We don't take sides.
A new issue of the Wireless Messaging Newsletter is posted on the web each week. A notification goes out by e-mail to subscribers on most Fridays around noon central US time. The notification message has a link to the actual newsletter on the web. That way it doesn’t fill up your incoming e-mail account. There is no charge for subscription and there are no membership restrictions. Readers are a very select group of wireless industry professionals, and include the senior managers of many of the world’s major Paging and Wireless Messaging companies. There is an even mix of operations managers, marketing people, and engineers — so I try to include items of interest to all three groups. It’s all about staying up-to-date with business trends and technology. I regularly get readers’ comments, so this newsletter has become a community forum for the Paging, and Wireless Messaging communities. You are welcome to contribute your ideas and opinions. Unless otherwise requested, all correspondence addressed to me is subject to publication in the newsletter and on my web site. I am very careful to protect the anonymity of those who request it. I spend the whole week searching the INTERNET for news that I think may be of interest to you — so you won’t have to. This newsletter is an aggregator — a service that aggregates news from other news sources. You can help our community by sharing any interesting news that you find.
Editorial Opinion pieces present only the opinions of the author. They do not necessarily reflect the views of any of advertisers or supporters. This newsletter is independent of any trade association. I don't intend to hurt anyone's feelings, but I do freely express my own opinions. |

GLENAYRE INFRASTRUCTUREService ContractsI would like to recommend Easy Solutions for Support of all Glenayre Paging Equipment. This Texas company is owned and operated by Vaughan Bowden. I have known Vaughan for over 35 years. Without going into a long list of his experience and qualifications, let me just say that he was the V.P. of Engineering at PageNet which was—at that time—the largest paging company in the world. So Vaughan knows Paging. GTES is no longer offering support contracts. GTES was the original group from Vancouver that was setup to offer support to customers that wanted to continue with the legacy Glenayre support. Many U.S. customers chose not to use this service because of the price and the original requirement to upgrade to version 8.0 software (which required expensive hardware upgrades, etc.). Most contracts ended as of February 2018. If you are at all concerned about future support of Glenayre products, especially the “king of the hill” the GL3000 paging control terminal, I encourage you to talk to Vaughan about a service contract and please tell him about my recommendation.

Apple engineer details how the company improved the audio quality of AirPods Pro 2 without LosslessFilipe Espósito - Nov. 25th 2022 6:21 am PT
Apple this year released the second generation AirPods Pro, and while it brings a lot of improvements, Apple’s new wireless earbuds still lack Lossless audio support. However, according to an Apple engineer, the company has been focusing on other ways to provide high-quality audio on AirPods without the need for the Lossless codec. Apple acoustics team engineer Esge Andersen was interviewed by What Hi-Fi (via MacRumors). Andersen, who has worked at Apple for over 11 years, gave his insight into the development of the AirPods Pro 2 and answered questions about why Apple’s AirPods still don’t have Lossless support. According to the engineer, Apple wanted to “give everyone AirPods Max in their pocket” with AirPods Pro 2. Of course, AirPods Pro are much more compact than AirPods Max, so it requires a lot of engineering work to make the earbuds sound as good as Apple’s over-ear headphones. Although the design of the AirPods Pro 2 is almost identical to the previous one, the microphones and vents have been repositioned to optimize the airflow for the driver. Now, instead of two vents, AirPods Pro 2 has only one vent at the back of each earbud, Thanks to the new venting system, the new AirPods Pro reach cleaner highs and deeper bass. Engineers have also optimized the airflow for better excursion, as any interference in the airflow can distort the sound. Why AirPods Pro 2 still lack Lossless?Many AirPods users were upset that Apple didn’t introduce Lossless support with the second generation AirPods Pro. For those unfamiliar, Lossless codecs have minimal or no compression, which means you can hear high-fidelity sound. Even though Apple Music has a catalog with millions of Lossless songs, there are no AirPods models that are compatible with such codec. For Andersen, however, there are other ways to provide high-quality sound without changing the audio codec used by the AirPods. The engineer said that Apple has made “big striders” with AirPods Pro 2 even without Lossless audio, and that the decision to keep with the AAC codec is “more about reliability.” Andersen also mentioned that Bluetooth technology is not a limitation for delivering high-quality audio.
Audio codecs capable of streaming higher bitrate audio over Bluetooth already exist, such as Sony’s LDAC and aptX, but Apple has never shown interest in bringing them to AirPods. Still, Andersen told What Hi-Fi that “Apple is always open to change.” More about AirPods Pro 2In addition to improved sound quality, the second generation AirPods Pro feature improved noise cancellation and an updated charging case with Find My support. It is priced at $249 in the US, although you can find it for lower prices at other stores like Amazon.

NSR Predicts Multiple Challenges to FCC’s New Broadband Maps
By Leslie Stimson, Inside Towers Washington Bureau ChiefNew Street Research Policy Advisor Blair Levin predicts there will be multiple challenges to the first draft of the FCC’s new broadband maps that were released last Friday. So does FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, Inside Towers reported. She said the maps will be continually updated and invited the public to send the agency the details of what they believe is inaccurate. The maps are critical for how NTIA will distribute $42.5 billion of the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment portion of Infrastructure Law funds to the states to fund high-speed Internet in unserved and underserved areas. The records will allow stakeholders, particularly the states, to review and challenge the accuracy of the maps. States can now challenge the maps up until January 13, 2023. The FCC will then use the input from the challenges to finalize the maps. That will enable NTIA to announce the final allocations to the states—who will at the same time, be developing their own plans—by June 30, 2023. Levin says NSR predicts many challenges to the maps. New York has already filed a challenge, Inside Towers reported. The more states that challenge the accuracy of the maps, “the greater the financial and political incentives for other states to do so,” says Levin in a note to investors. The more challenges there are, the more difficult it will be for the FCC and NTIA to meet their deadlines, according to Levin. “This could cause a delay in allocating the funds and deploying the networks. This would have a differential impact on ISPs,” writes the policy expert. Levin says a delay is not necessarily bad for incumbent phone companies because they’re already stretched thin with their own market-driven and privately financed fiber expansion plans. “More time allows them to focus internal and construction resources on the more lucrative areas and stretch out other deployment plans,” he notes. However, for smaller carriers focused on areas dependent on government funding, a delay is “likely to be a negative as their plans will be pushed back.” More time means higher overall costs and pushes back the timeline for “when they can start obtaining revenues,” according to Levin. |

HeadlinesFCC Releases Pre-Production Draft of National Broadband Map; Challenge/Correction Process BeginsOn November 18, the FCC issued a Public Notice announcing the release of the pre-production draft of the National Broadband Map (the Broadband Map). The map shows fixed and mobile broadband availability data submitted by Internet service providers through the FCC’s Broadband Data Collection (BDC). Consumers, state, local, and Tribal governments, service providers, and other entities can now begin to file challenges to the fixed and mobile broadband availability data shown on the Broadband Map. In addition, consumers may begin to submit corrections, in the form of individual challenges, to the location data in the Broadband Serviceable Location Fabric (Fabric). BloostonLaw encourages all clients to review the Broadband Map as soon as possible. BloostonLaw attorneys are available to assist in identifying overlaps and preparing challenges. As we reported in a previous edition of the BloostonLaw Telecom Update, NTIA is encouraging all ISPs to file their challenges by January 13, 2023. This is the date NTIA plans to review the Broadband Map to determine which areas will be available to obtain BEAD support:
The Broadband Map is available at https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov. It is supposed to display fixed and mobile Internet service availability as of June 30, 2022. BloostonLaw Contacts: Ben Dickens, Gerry Duffy, and Sal Taillefer. FCC Adopts Broadband “Nutrition Label” RequirementsOn November 17, the FCC adopted a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking requiring broadband Internet access service providers to display labels (reminiscent of nutrition labels) to assist consumers when comparison shopping for broadband services. Comment and reply comment deadlines for the FNPRM have not yet been established. In the Report and Order, the FCC adopted the following requirements:
The FCC also adopted a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on ways that it can further refine and improve its rules, including different ways to display broadband performance information. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act directed the FCC to require providers to display consumer-friendly labels with information about their broadband services. The new label is based on voluntary labels the FCC previously approved in a 2016 Public Notice:
BloostonLaw attorneys can assist you in making sure that your proposed labeling is compliant with the new requirements. BloostonLaw Contacts: Ben Dickens and Sal Taillefer. FCC Extends Deadlines in Areas Affected by Hurricane NicoleOn November 10, the FCC issued a Public Notice extending certain deadlines occurring from November 9 to December 9 for licensees and applicants affected by Hurricane Nicole. For the purposes of this relief, the FCC defines “affected areas” as the State of Florida. Specifically, the following deadlines are extended to December 10:
The FCC also waived Section 1.931(a) of the rules through December 10, to allow the filing of STA requests for Wireless Radio Services in manners other than electronically on FCC Form 601, e.g., by requesting STAs by telephone call to FCC staff. BloostonLaw Contacts: John Prendergast and Cary Mitchell. Law and RegulationReply Comment Deadline for Robotext Blocking NPRM Extended to December 9On November 18, the FCC granted a request filed by the National Consumer Law Center (NCLC) and CTIA—The Wireless Association (CTIA) for an extension of the time in which to file reply comments in response to the FCC's Targeting and Eliminating Unlawful Text Messages Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Comments on the NPRM were due on November 10, and reply comments are now due on December 9. As we reported in a previous edition of the BloostonLaw Telecom Update, the NPRM proposes and seeks comment on applying existing caller ID authentication standards to text messaging. It also proposes requiring mobile wireless providers to block texts, at the network level, that purport to be from invalid, unallocated, or unused numbers, and numbers on a Do-Not-Originate (DNO) list. Finally, the NPRM also seeks input on other actions the FCC might take to address illegal texts, including enhanced consumer education. Providers interested in filing reply comments on the NPRM may contact the firm for more information. BloostonLaw Contacts: John Prendergast and Cary Mitchell. FCC Revises PSAP Notification RequirementsOn November 17, the FCC adopted a Report and Order in PS Docket Nos. 13-75, 15-80 and ET Docket No. 04-35 adopting rules to promote public safety by ensuring that 911 call centers receive timely and useful notifications of network disruptions that affect 911 service. Specifically, the updated rules standardize the type of information conveyed in the network outage notifications providers that serve PSAPs are required to provide to those entities. The updated rules also require service providers to maintain up-to-date contact information for the 911 call centers they serve. In addition, the FCC retained its current requirement that covered 911 service providers file annual 911 reliability certifications, which will help the FCC promote the continuity of 911 service during the transition to Next Generation 911. Providers that serve PSAPs may contact the firm for more information. BloostonLaw Contacts: Ben Dickens and Sal Taillefer. Revised FM Antenna Verification Rules Effective Nov. 10On November 10, the FCC published in the Federal Register its FM Broadcast Directional Antenna Performance Verification Order of May 19, 2022. There, the FCC revised its broadcast radio procedures and rules, including sections 73.316 and 73.1690 of the rules, to allow for FM and LPFM directional antenna pattern verification by computer modeling performed by the directional antenna’s manufacturer. As a result of the Order's publication in the Federal Register, the revised rules are now effective. When seeking a license, FM radio stations using directional antennas are required to provide measurements of the radiated signal to verify their directional pattern. To do this, stations must either build a full-size mockup of the antenna or build a scale model. The FCC noted that these measurements can involve considerable expense to the applicant. The revised rules allow FM and LPFM broadcasters the option to verify directional antenna patterns by using computer modeling prepared by the antenna manufacturer rather than real-world measurements, after the model is initially verified for accuracy. BloostonLaw Contacts: John Prendergast and Cary Mitchell. Lifeline and Affordable Connectivity Program Awareness Bill Passes HouseOn November 17, Rep. Elaine Luria’s (D-VA) Ensuring Phone and Internet Access Through Lifeline and Affordable Connectivity Act of 2021 (H.R. 4275) passed the House of Representatives. According to a press release, Rep. Luria’s legislation would require the FCC to study and report to Congress on the number of households that enroll in the Lifeline and ACP programs through each of the qualifying programs, and would also require the Government Accountability Office to report on outreach and publicity efforts to promote Lifeline and ACP to ensure that all qualified households are aware and able to enroll. The purpose of the bill, which has bipartisan support, is to help more Americans afford phone and Internet service by providing transparency into enrollment of these programs and examining effectiveness of outreach for the programs. “As we have learned through the COVID-19 pandemic, Internet access is a necessity for many Americans,” Rep. Luria said. “I am proud to have worked across the aisle to secure the passage of this bipartisan bill that will help more Americans who need this financial assistance to learn about and enroll in these important programs. BloostonLaw Contacts: Ben Dickens, Gerry Duffy, and Sal Taillefer. IndustryGoogle Settles Location-Tracking Allegations for $391 MillionOn November 14, 40 state attorneys general led by Oregon AG Ellen Rosenblum and Nebraska AG Doug Peterson announced a $391.5 million settlement with Google over its location tracking practices. A press release by the Oregon AG office indicates that, as outlined in the settlement, Google misled its users into thinking they had turned off location tracking in their account settings, when, in fact, Google continued to collect their location information. The attorneys general opened the Google investigation following a 2018 Associated Press article that revealed Google “records your movements even when you explicitly tell it not to.” The article focused on two Google account settings: Location History and Web & App Activity. Location History is “off” unless a user turns on the setting, but Web & App Activity, a separate account setting, is automatically “on” when users set up a Google account, including all Android users. According to the press release, the attorneys general found that Google violated state consumer protection laws by misleading consumers about its location tracking practices since at least 2014. Specifically, Google confused its users about the extent to which they could limit Google’s location tracking by adjusting their account and device settings. The settlement requires Google to be more transparent about its practices, including showing additional information to users whenever they turn a location-related account setting “on” or “off”; making key information about location tracking unavoidable for users (i.e., not hidden); and giving users detailed information about the types of location data Google collects and how it’s used at an enhanced “Location Technologies” webpage. In addition to Oregon and Nebraska, the other states assisting in the negotiations include: Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. The settlement is also joined by Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and Wisconsin. FCC Announces Process to License Broadband Serviceable Location Fabric Data for Non-ISPsOn November 15, the FCC issued a Public Notice announcing that parties may now begin the process of obtaining a license to the Broadband Serviceable Location Fabric (Fabric) for purposes of preparing and submitting challenges through the FCC’s Broadband Data Collection (BDC). As we reported in a previous edition of the BloostonLaw Telecom Update, the FCC made the Fabric data available to Internet service providers and state, local, and Tribal governmental entities starting on June 23 so that they could submit broadband availability data prior to the close of the filing window on September 1. Now, other entities and organizations may begin the process of obtaining a license to access the Fabric. To access the Fabric data, each entity must register in the Commission Registration System (CORES), log into the BDC system, and execute a limited end-user license agreement for the Fabric. Some organizations may need to provide a brief description of how their use of the Fabric data aligns with BDC purposes, and how your organization is involved in issues around broadband availability. The FCC has also recently released documentation that describes the methodology used to create the initial production version of the Fabric. A public version is available for all interested stakeholders under the Key Reference Documents Tab of the Resources section of the Broadband Data Collection webpage at https://www.fcc.gov/BroadbandData/resources. NTIA Announces $4.9 Million Planning Grant to Idaho; $5.5 Million to NebraskaLast week, the Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced that Idaho and Nebraska received their first “Internet for All” grants for deploying high-speed Internet networks and developing digital skills training programs. Specifically, Idaho is receiving $4,940,793.09 in funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and Nebraska is receiving $5,598,563.04. The Infrastructure Law's Internet for All initiative funds, among other programs, the Broadband, Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) program and the Digital Equity Act programs. As we reported in a previous edition of the BloostonLaw Telecom Update, all 50 U.S. states and six territories applied for planning grant funding for the BEAD program and the Digital Equity Act program. Grant awards for all 56 eligible entities will be announced on a rolling basis. DeadlinesJANUARY 18: Form 855 HAC Compliance Certification. The next Hearing Aid Compatibility regulatory compliance certification, certifying compliance with the FCC’s HAC handset minimums as well as enhanced record retention and website posting requirements for the 2022 calendar year, will be due Monday, January 18, 2023, for all CMRS service providers (including CMRS resellers) that had operations during any portion of 2022. Companies that sold their wireless licenses during the 2022 calendar year will need to file a partial-year HAC compliance certifications if they provided mobile wireless service at any time during the year. BloostonLaw has prepared a 2022 HAC Regulatory Compliance Template to facilitate our clients’ compliance with the revised HAC rules. Contact Cary Mitchell if you would like to obtain a copy of the HAC Regulatory Compliance Template. BloostonLaw Contact: Cary Mitchell. JANUARY 31: FCC FORM 555, ANNUAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIER CERTIFICATION FORM. All Lifeline Program service providers are required to file the FCC Form 555, except where the National Verifier, state Lifeline administrator, or other entity is responsible. Since January 31 falls on a weekend or holiday this year, Form 555 may be filed by February 1. The FCC Form 555 must be submitted to the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) electronically via USAC’s E-File (One Portal). Carriers must also file a copy of their FCC Form 555 in the FCC's Electronic Comment Filing System, Docket 14-171, and with their state regulatory commission. The form reports the results of the annual recertification process and non-usage de-enrollments. Recertification results are reported month-by-month based on the subscribers’ anniversary date.
