Assurance Wireless makes this filing at the ORS’ request, even though it is clearly not a “telephone utility” required to file this particular report. S.C. Code Ann. § 58-9-280. Thus, Assurance Wireless makes this filing under protest and specifically to avoid being the subject of a Show Cause proceeding. Assurance Wireless considers Schedule 7 to be commercially sensitive and proprietary business information that should be exempt from public disclosure, and requests that the Commission and the ORS treat this attachment as confidential, pursuant to S.C. Code Regs. 103-804(S)(2) and S.C. Code Ann. § 58-4-55(C). Accordingly, Assurance Wireless has designated this schedule as confidential and is providing same in a sealed envelope per Commission Order No. 2005-226. Assurance Wireless requests that the Commission and ORS maintain the confidentiality of this information, and accordingly not publish or otherwise disseminate Confidential Schedule 7 or the information contained therein to any person in any form. Should the Commission or ORS intend to provide this information to any other person, I would ask that you contact me in advance in order that Assurance Wireless be given the opportunity to seek and maintain the confidential nature of the information. If you have any questions about this filing, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, s / John J. Pringle, Jr. John J.

Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Policies Regarding Mobile Spectrum Holdings, WT Docket No. 12-269 Dear Ms. Dortch: Throughout this proceeding, Verizon has urged the Commission to correct the spectrum screen to include the full 194 MHz of Broadband Radio Service (BRS) and Educational Broadband Service (EBS) spectrum. Some parties claim that the long and complicated history of these bands justifies their exclusion from the screen. To address these claims, the attached paper traces the evolution of these spectrum bands from their origins in the 1960s to today and demonstrates that continued exclusion of this spectrum, which is in use today for mobile broadband services, is no longer defensible. This letter is being filed pursuant to Section 1.1206 of the Commission’s rules. Please contact me with any questions. Sincerely, Attachment The Evolution of the 2.5 GHz Band and Its Success for Mobile Broadband Demand a Spectrum Screen Refresh As the Federal Communications Commission considers how to resolve the Mobile Spectrum Holdings proceeding, its threshold responsibility will be to determine which additional spectrum bands to incorporate into the spectrum screen.1 Just last year, the FCC issued a white paper that identified the full 194 MHz of the 2.5 GHz band (2496-2500 MHz) as among the “most commonly deployed mobile broadband spectrum bands” in the United States.2 And yet the FCC continues to exclude from the current spectrum screen more than 70 percent of the 2.5 GHz band, or 138.5 of that 194 MHz.
