Starry Urges Modernization of OTARD Rules

Starry supports Wireless ISP Association arguments that the FCC should “modernize” over-the-air reception devices (OTARD) rules to apply to all fixed wireless transmitters and receivers, provided the equipment meets existing size restrictions for customer-end equipment (see 1808280040). “Modernizing OTARD would empower consumers to bring competitive wireless broadband to their communities and neighborhoods, without adding new regulatory burdens on local municipalities,” Starry said in a call with an aide to Commissioner Brendan Carr, said a filing in docket 17-79.
