[SUMMARIZE REPLY COMMENT HERE] In this comment, IEEE 802.11 will discuss: in Section II, IEEE 802.11 and its members are prepared to assist the Commission in order to begin to resolve the issues in this important docket. We believe the Commission can and should issue its first Report and Order in this proceeding in the fourth calendar quarter of this year or soon thereafter. Because the enabled by IEEE 802.11 are global, we are mindful of the important precedent that the Commission will be setting for other regulators around the world. The explosive growth that we are witnessing in the use of 802.11 radio local area networks (RLANs) requires prompt and thoughtful regulatory action to frame the debate for regulators everywhere. Accordingly, we find suggestions that the Commission do nothing unless and until there is a change in ITU regulations to be ill-informed. As the record amply demonstrates, 802.11 technology is too important to consumers, businesses, service providers, and to national economies, to delay. Spectrum rules that best enable the next generation of .11 technology, and which will meet the rising tide of consumer and business demand, are essential as 802.11 RLANs become the primary on and off ramp to the Internet. Unlicensed devices are playing an role in meeting wireless data needs For the Commission to dedicate resources to a proceeding as wide-ranging and technical as this one, there needs to be a motivating driver. IEEE 802.11 asserts that the Commission look no further than the comments. Filing after filing reveals breathtaking advancements in how technology enabled by standards is being utilized. While the record is extensive, IEEE 802.11 wishes to call out a few of the most salient points:
