FCC Invites Comments On "Ratchet Rule" Proposal
It seems like just last week – wait, it was just last week – that we reported on the Ron Rackley/Ben Dawson proposal to delete the “ratchet rule” from Section 73.182(q) – and already the FCC has given their magnum opus a rulemaking number (RM-11560) and asked for comments on the proposal. If you have any thoughts on Ron and Ben’s bright idea that you would care to share with the FCC, you have until October 9 to get them filed. While the public notice inviting comments may not look all that impressive, the fact that it was issued as quickly as it was could indicate that the Commission is prepared to give this proposal expedited consideration . . . or maybe not. We shall see.
