Last month we reported that the FCC had announced deadlines for oppositions and replies to several petitions for reconsideration that had been filed with respect to recent changes to the rules governing the 5 GHz unlicensed band. The FCC received over 100 filings. The deadline for replies was today, August 25. But, apparently, that didn’t provide quite enough time to plow through the pile of paper, at least according to the Association of Global Automakers, Inc.The Commission agreed, but not until the middle of the afternoon on August 25. This is good news for anybody who had been thinking about filing a reply, but just hadn’t gotten around to it yet. The rest of you may disregard the extension and continue your end-of-summer activities.

In any event, replies to the oppositions that were filed are now due on September 2, 2014. Have a great Labor Day weekend.
