EWA ON  YOUR SIDE   

From Crosby's Blog: "Refreshing..."  

AT&T didn't see it coming, I don't believe that the FCC saw it coming either.  That is, the Department of Justice's (DoJ) antitrust suit to block the AT&T/T-Mobile merger that was filed [recently] in the U.S. District Court.  Obviously, this is Washington, D.C., and the stakes are huge on a number of fronts, so it isn't over until it's over.  MORE

Narrowband Question of the Month    

Q: How can I quickly determine if my license must be modified to meet the narrowbanding mandate?

A:  If the Emission Designator reported on your license indicates 4K00F1E, 4K00F1D, 7K60FXE, 7K60FXE or 11K2F3E, then your license need not be modified.  If your Emission Designator starts with a number greater than 11K, more than likely a 20KF03E designator, then you need to change your emission. EWA will be pleased to assist.
