@StevenJCrowley Right. Some experimental licenses are open for renewal, others are not. The experiments may fail. But if they succeed, it seems to me like the FCC, the traders, and their attorneys all have an incentive to agree on a path to a permanent license.
@StevenJCrowley@experimradio It's worth taking a look at the FCC's rationale for the rule change in 2013. It was different before that, but now they want to encourage commercial use of experimental licenses. https://t.co/omUTwM4yMO
Shortwave Trading Video: From my talk at the New York STAC Summit: https://t.co/ocdPyIC0Um Thanks to Peter Lankford and STAC Research. It's 31 minutes, including Q&A at the end.
@SniperInMahwah@ThemisSal@fintechfrank In an amazing coincidence, there is a Van Valzah working at the FCC. We must be related, but it's pretty distant. My real wife here in Illinois would be pretty upset if I had another one on the side in DC :-)
@SniperInMahwah@ThemisSal@fintechfrank FCC Rules Part 5 on experimental licenses were "modernized" in 2013 to "keep pace with the speed of modern technological change." IANAL, but the new rules might explain this use.
Here's a nice historical perspective from IEEE Spectrum on the fiber and radio technologies used in the trading latency race. It has a mention of the discoveries I've made in shortwave trading: https://t.co/DTaDGR40Yk https://t.co/oqH6I7kfDY
