Rich, I vote Disapprove. My concern is that the document presumes in several places that the term “Wi-Fi”, as used in the consultation, means “Wi-Fi®” However, it’s my understanding that it doesn’t. The consultation says: In this document we use the term Wi-Fi throughout because it is by far the most common WLAN/RLAN application and is widely understood by both industry stakeholders and consumers - but the discussion is also relevant to all other variations of WLAN/RLAN technology (e.g. LTE/LAA etc.). Since the response uses the term “Wi-Fi” differently than does the consultation, if should explain that usage and contrast it to that of the consultation. Here is some text where it matters: *Slide 5 asks for “Wi-FI” to “be treated as an de facto incumbent, and should be afforded the protection all of its adherents expect and deserve.” This has two very different meanings depending on whether Wi-Fi is Wi-Fi® or all “variations of WLAN/RLAN technology (e.g. LTE/LAA etc.)”. *Slide 6 worries about the “entry into the spectrum dominated by Wi-Fi for 20 years, of other technologies”. As far as I know, the technologies of interest are all “variations of WLAN/RLAN technology”, so they are not “other technologies”, according to the consultation. *Side 10 says “Wi-Fi has become the dominant wireless Internet access technology”. Is this intended to include all “variations of WLAN/RLAN technology”? There are also a lot of grammatical errors that need to be cleaned up, which I’m sure you will take care of after approval of the motion. I would suggest that you rephrase “The trend in new Internet connected devices is only wireless connectivity,” because I don’t think it’s clear. Surely that’s not the only trend in Internet connected devices. Regards, Roger
