ATSC 3.0 License Applications Won't Be Accepted Until Early 2019, FCC Says

The FCC Media Bureau will complete changes to its licensing and management system to accept applications for ATSC 3.0 licenses, but not until early 2019, said a public notice Wednesday. Applications for ATSC 3.0 test markets and product development can be filed under the experimental license rules in the meantime, said the notice. An FCC notice earlier this week in the Federal Register said the commission got Office of Management and Budget approval for three years on information collection requirements for Form 2100 for the move to 3.0 (see 1807160014).
