The Federal Communications Commission has proposed a fine of $48,000 against a Seffner, FL man who allegedly jammed consumer cell service from his car over a two year period. 

The Federal Communications Commission has proposed a plan to make more of the spectrum available for fixed wireless broadband, carrier-grade small cell deployments and general consumer use. The proposed plan, Citizens Broadband Radio Service, has recommended making the 150 MHz spectrum available in the 3.5 GHz band.

The Federal Communications Commission has approved a Report and Order to continue efforts to increase the amount of spectrum available for flexible use wireless services.  This report and order signifies the largest amount of spectrum made available since 2008.

The FCC has issued a fine of $29,000 to R&N Manufacturing, Ltd (RNM) for repeated violations of operating a signal jammer at its manufacturing facility in Houston, TX. The illegal use of the jammer caused interference to cellular and PCS communications in the area that could cause potential public safety hazards.
