Early Comments Support Device Market Change Sought by CTA

Lincoln Networks urged the FCC to act on equipment authorization rules proposed by CTA, as long as devices aren't accessible until authorized. A December NPRM was approved 5-0. “The policy behind the current Commission’s rules on pre-approval marketing and importation is sound but the rules need to be updated to current business practices,” Lincoln said. In other comments posted in docket 20-382 before Wednesday's midnight deadline, the R Street Institute and Information Technology Industry Council supported the change. “Technological innovation often moves fast, leaving outdated regulations designed for different environments and markets in the proverbial dust,” R Street said.
