FCC Looks at Changes to Rules Covering Unattended Operation



7.04.2007
While the FCC now has published basic service rules and fundamental public interest obligations for digital channels, it seeks comment on additional public service obligations in a Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. These new obligations could extend beyond the digital channels to affect main analog channels.
 
So, still no night-time HD-AM radio?

I've been waiting anxiously for the mass-jamming to begin.

The rules ahve been written. That means within 30 days nighttime HD begins. It should be very interesting especially if the anticipated QRM never arrises and that means leagally arrises not some guy with a garbage radio that receives 530 to 1700 simultaniously.

The FCC released the rules on May 31st - which means 30 days would have expired last week. But the 30-day clock didn't start when the rules were released; it starts when they're published in the Federal Register.

"1.IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the rules contained herein SHALL BE EFFECTIVE 30 days after publication of the Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register, except for the rules that contain information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act, which shall become effective immediately upon announcement in the Federal Register of OMB approval."

(from http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-07-33A1.doc )

To the best of my knowledge, publication in the Federal Register has not happened yet. So nighttime IBOC is at least 32 days away.
 
I have checked the Federal Register on a daily basis since March 31st and have yet to see this item published. If it has, it was placed out of alphabetical order.

And I’ve been waiting anxiously to hear George Noory discuss UFO incidents; human biology replaced by nano-bots; and the actual location of Atlantis WITH the added-ambience of that metallic IBOC hiss in the background. ‘Just what the entertainment industry a.k.a. “Talk Radio” has been begging for – Noory, Savage, and Levin in “HD”. For God’s sake, what are those who shepherd this farce thinking [when they aren’t hell-bent on devouring themselves]? Are they mindless lemmings memorized by some expensive technical fantasy? Possibly, but [more appropriately] – they’re just typical “suits” in corporate radio ::)
 
I t is interesting that the FCC is allowing FM stations to muliticast with a STA, but there sre no STA for night-time AM IBOC, waiting for the rules to get published and havent been yet.....
