The 900 MHz band, a frequency range serving as a commons for all, is now at
risk due to NextNav’s brazen attempt to privatize this shared resource.

Left by the FCC for use by amateur radio operators, unlicensed consumer
devices, and industrial, scientific, and medical equipment, this spectrum
has become a hotbed for new technologies and community-driven projects.
Millions of consumer devices also rely on the range, including baby
monitors, cordless phones, IoT devices, garage door openers. But NextNav
would rather claim these frequencies, fence them off, and lease them out to
mobile service providers. This is just another land-grab by a corporate
rent-seeker dressed up as innovation.

EFF and hundreds of others
<https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/search-filings/results?q=(proceedings.name:(%2224-240%22))&page=1&limit=100>
have
called on the FCC to decisively reject this proposal and protect the open
spectrum as a commons that serves all
