compromise, based on UNPRECEDENTED cooperation between the

incumbents, some of whom have gained voting

membership, and others who have met the attendance requirements at

avoid conflict over the FCC's proposal to allow unlicensed devices
to

to

interference*.
>>>
>>> After months of cooperative work,
NOT filing the comments that were

mutually

working relationship that has been forged between the

incumbents

their

>>> Finally, since IEEE 802.18 requested,
and was granted, an extension of
