This RM just seems to be sitting there idle without progress. The
status still shows "OPEN" as it has been for well over a year.
This is typical for amateur matters at the Commission - they tend to
languish until the Commission/Staff have nothing else to do. ARRL's
"regulation by bandwidth" proposal faced the same general indifference
from the Commission a few years ago and languished until ARRL withdrew
it in disgust (perhaps RM11708 will granted the same fate <G>).
I don't expect the Commission will do anything about RM-11708 for some
time - comments by ARRL's Chief Counsel to the contrary - as the FCC
is ramping up to one of its most critical and controversial debates in
a long time - that over "net neutrality" and whether broadband should
be regulated as a common carrier/utility like voice (landline and cell)
service.

I received a couple of personal notes on this and yes, there have been
comments posted. My request dealt with the status of the RM. It was
opened in Nov of 2013 and has not been updated since.
Normally there is a limited period for comments, followed by another
limited period for reply comments.

Thus, my request for more info.
