   On November 2, 2021, the Federal Communications Commission's ("FCC's")   
   Wireless Telecommunications Bureau ("Bureau") published a public   
   notice in the Federal Register focused on asking whether the 71-76   
   GHz, 81-86 GHz, 92-94 GHz, and the 94.1-95 GHz bands ("70/80/90 GHz   
   Bands") could be used "to provide broadband Internet access to   
   consumers and communities that may otherwise lack robust, consistent   
   connectivity." The Commission is particularly interested whether   
   stratospheric-based platforms, such as High Altitude Platform Stations   
   ("HAPS"), which operate above twenty kilometers (approximately 65,000   
   feet), could be deployed for this purpose in the 70/80/90 GHz Bands.   
   Comments are due by December 2, 2021, and replies by January 3, 2022.
