The Satellite Industry Association asked the FCC for an extension of time to file reply comments in the proceeding on commercial operations in the 3550-3650 MHz band. SIA would like the deadline changed from Aug. 1 to Aug. 15, it said in its motion in docket 12-354 (http://bit.ly/1Ah3q3t). Reviewing all the comments and documents filed during the initial comment period, and drafting responsive comments will be time consuming for SIA and other parties, it said. During the reply period, many technical personnel for SIA member companies will not be available due to their attendance at ITU joint task force group meetings for the 2015 World Radiocommunications Conference, it said.
