Limited bandwidth

[Terry Sare]

     Saw this the other day on the motorola list. I checked and the FCC has 
     denied the request and is now asking for comments. They have 
     instructions on the web page for that. The closure date is around 
     middel of March for this issue. The first issue they listed closed on 
     the 13th. Somebody posted a followup on the motorola list also.
