[1] (The Commission's current NPRM proceeding (96-8) on modifying the "spread spectrum rules" addresses one narrow set of technologies, usage scenarios and implementations. In its present form, some portion of the needs for fixed-position, lower bandwidth connections would be met, but a much larger set of needs will remain unfulfilled. In particular, the whole concept of Community Network goes far beyond just those nodes that can be installed professionally and permanently. Furthermore, spread spectrum modulation schemes, particularly direct sequence schemes, are best employed where there is little likelihood of narrow-band interference that would disable them.) | [1] (The Commission's current NPRM proceeding (96-8) on modifying the "spread spectrum rules" addresses one narrow set of technologies, usage scenarios and implementations.
