# FCC Open Meeting Recap

 May 21, 2010

 

 

 

 

 

 

The FCC took a flurry of actions at [yesterday’s monthly open meeting](http://www.kelleydrye.com/resource_center/client_advisories/0567). Fulfilling this blog’s role as your resource for news and helpful links, below is your guide to yesterday’s actions.

[Wireless Market Report](http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-10-81A1.pdf): The Commission adopted its 14th Annual Report on the state of the wireless market. Among other things, this report was controversial because it refused to make an ​“effective competition” judgment on the wireless market. The report also expands coverage beyond CMRS to address the broader mobile marketplace.

[Number Porting](http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-10-85A1.pdf): The Commission released a Report and Order shortening the time interval for ​“simple” ports. This action will particularly affect wireline-to-wireless ports, and might accelerate the trend of ​“cut the cord” conversions.

[Pole Attachments](http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-10-84A1.pdf): The Commission made a number of changes to its rules governing the rights of cable and competitive telecommunications providers to hang facilities on utility poles. The order also proposes a number of changes to the pole attachment complaint rules.

[Universal Service](http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-10-83A1.pdf): The Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to modify its ​“e-rate” rules, which support discounts for schools and libraries for internet access and other services.

[Broadband Spectrum](http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-10-82A1.pdf): The Commission adopted rules to make available another 25 MHz of spectrum for mobile braodband use.
