  • Rural Broadband – 8 Actions to Ensure Fiber Deployment Success
    Click here for the online version. This e-mail was created for [email protected] Subscribe • Advertise Monday, September 14, 2020 Volume 8 | Issue 178 Pai Wants Answers About Wireless Industry Efforts to Update WEA Geo-targeting Wireless Emergency Alerts are now more geographically targeted and the FCC expects that to improve over time as more updated smartphones reach the market. Since last December, in response to FCC rules changes, participating wireless providers are required to deliver alerts to the entire area targeted by emergency management officials with no more than a one-tenth of a mile overshoot. If that’s not technically feasible, wireless providers must continue to deliver alerts to their best approximation of the target area, the agency standard since 2017. That’s a big change from when the WEA system began in 2012 and alerts were sent on a county-wide basis. All new “WEA-capable” mobile devices offered for sale after last December must support this enhanced geo- targeting. FCC rules also require wireless providers to support enhanced geo-targeting on WEA-capable mobile devices that were released before last December and can be upgraded. Continue Reading Bankrupt Brazilian Carrier Announces Asset Sales Brazilian telecom carrier Oi SA, operating under bankruptcy court supervision, announced a reorganization plan to sell certain assets last Tuesday, reported ET Telecom. It plans to sell various assets, including Oi’s wireless telephone business, data center operations, and additional infrastructure. According to ET Telecom, Oi is in talks with TIM Participacoes, Telefonica Brasil, and Claro SA (owned by American Movil) to acquire its business.
