I think this common in that appointment of commissioners go through a political process. The FCC has a technology group, too. When I worked with them about 8 years ago, they had skilled researchers on staff and a highly skilled director. They asked good questions about engineering decisions, like what is limiting the number of mimo streams on devices. Their physical facility is a bit dated, and they don't get stock grants. I respect the engineers I worked with for what they did. ⁣Bob On Dec 13, 2023, 2:38 PM, at 2:38 PM, Frantisek Borsik via Nnagain wrote: >I would love for Nathan to be here with us, and comment on that :-) so >I >will add NN list as well. > > >All the best, > >Frank >Frantisek (Frank) Borsik > >https://www.linkedin.com/in/frantisekborsik >Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp: +421919416714 >iMessage, mobile: +420775230885 >Skype: casioa5302ca >frantisek.borsik@gmail.com > > >On Wed, 13 Dec 2023 at 11:21 PM, Richard Roy >wrote: > >> >> >> >> ------------------------------ >> >> *From:* Starlink [mailto:starlink-bounces@lists.bufferbloat.net] *On >> Behalf Of *Frantisek Borsik via Starlink >> *Sent:* Wednesday, December 13, 2023 1:26 PM >> *To:* Dave Taht via Starlink >> *Subject:* [Starlink] FCC Upholds Denial of Starlink’s RDOF >Application >> >> >> >> “*Elon Musk*’s Starlink was not the only major company to inflate its >> capabilities >> > >in >> RDOF bids.
