There's less than one week until The INCOMPAS Show featuring the Northeast DAS and Small Cell Association (NEDAS) Symposium kicks off at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis. And there's less than one week to save - onsite registration prices increase by $100.
Once you've registered, you can use the Mobile App to start scheduling meetings in the Deal Center, Expo Hall and meeting rooms, block off time to attend the Buyers Forum, and plan your schedule - from attending our Sunday Keynote with Rep. Anna Eshoo, marketing and policy workshops, technology sessions, the NEDAS Symposium and more.
After a day of deal-making, be sure to make time to have fun and unwind with great food, great drinks and great company! The INCOMPAS Show offers many opportunities for low-key networking and socializing, including:

FCC Announces Tentative Agenda for October Meeting
|
|
The FCC announced the tentative agenda for its October Open meeting, including:
- Exemption to Calling Number Identification Service - The Commission will consider a Report and Order that would enable law enforcement and security personnel to obtain quick access to blocked Caller ID information needed to investigate threatening calls. It also would amend the Commission's rules to allow non-public emergency services, such as private ambulance companies, to obtain blocked Caller ID information associated with calls requesting assistance.
- Nationwide Number Portability - The Commission will consider an NPRM and NOI that proposes to amend the Commission's rules, as well as seeks comment on industry models to move toward complete nationwide number portability to promote competition between all service providers and increase network routing efficiencies.
- Promoting Investment in the 3550-3700 MHz Band - The Commission will consider an NPRM that would seek comment and propose changes to the Priority Access License rules in the 3550-3700 MHz (3.5 GHz) band to increase incentives for investment, encourage more efficient spectrum use, and promote faster and more widespread network deployments.
Other items include:
- Support for Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands
- Hearing Aid Compatibility and Volume Control
- Part 43 Reporting Requirements for U.S. Providers of International Services
- Elimination of Main Studio Rule
- Updates to Rules Governing Ancillary/ Supplementary Services and Broadcast Public Notices
The meeting is scheduled for October 24, 10:30 a.m. at FCC headquarters in Washington, D.C. It will be streamed live at www.fcc.gov/live.
