What Issues are Building and How Do They Affect Local Governments at 2013 International Municipal Lawyers Association Annual Meeting
Teleommunications Policy in an IP World
Overview of what an IP transition is: the replacement of traditional public switched telephone network with a network based around the IP protocol — a packet-switched v. a circuit switched network. The purpose of the switch is to bring potentially more efficiency and purpose to the network via wireless or wireline — or a combination of both — networks.

What are the implications of the IP transition for local franchising, fees, universal service, consumer protection and related areas.
At the International Municipal Lawyers Association’s 80th Annual Conference in Las Vegas earlier this month, BB&K Partner Gail Karish presented “Developments in Wireless.” In her presentation (below), Gail uses industry data to show the tremendous growth in wireless infrastructure in recent years. Besides explaining why, she also discusses how recent court decisions, the FCC’s new shot clock and various state laws are impacting local government control over wireless facilities siting.

2014 Outlook on Congress and the FCC
The big events relating to local telecommunications facility regulation and how they fit together; history of Section 332; subsequent case law; the FCC's "shot clock" ruling and Supreme Court case; other pieces to the puzzle.
At the International Municipal Lawyers Association’s annual Spring Meeting in Washington, D.C., we presented “Telecommunications 2016: The Challenges Facing Local Government and its Counsel.”
The Federal Communications Commission is considering adopting rules that could limit local governments’ zoning authority and allow wireless-service providers to add facilities to existing buildings, towers, and other structures in public rights-of-way and elsewhere. The wireless industry will likely push the federal agency to adopt rules that will allow them to place and expand facilities with little or no oversight.
The most common stumbling points and effective ways to get past them; DAS system leasing for in-building networks as a growth area; advice on problematic situations of concern to members of the audience

The presentation focused on the impact of new FCC rules limiting local authority to control modifications of existing wireless facilities on siting regulation and on negotiations for use of public property to place wireless facilities.

A broadband antenna means the antenna with wideband radiation characteristics. To make a broadband antenna, we can use a helical, a biconical, a sleeve, a spiral, and a log-periodic antenna.

This presentation is in the Radar folder.
Design and simulation result of various spiral antennas.
Spiral antennas belong to the class of "frequency independent" antennas; these antennas are characterized as having a very large bandwidth. Spiral antennas are travelling wave structures and are well-known for their wideband performance. A bandwidth of 5:1 or 10:1 is easily obtained and a stable input impedance is achieved through a self-complementary geometry. This wideband characteristic of the spiral antenna makes it an attractive choice where a single antenna is required to send / receive over multiple channels. Spiral antennas are usually circularly polarized. The spiral antenna's radiation pattern typically has a peak radiation direction perpendicular to the plane of the spiral (broadside radiation). The Half-Power Beamwidth (HPBW) is approximately 70-90 degrees.
Spiral antennas are widely used in the defense industry for sensing applications, where very wideband antennas that do not take up much space are needed. Spiral antenna arrays are used in military aircraft in the 1-18 GHz range. Other applications of spiral antennas include GPS, where it is advantageous to have RHCP (right hand circularly polarized) antennas.
There are several kind of spiral antennas . An Archimedean spiral made of two equal lengths of coaxial cable seems to be the easiest circularly polarized antenna to make that'll cover a broad range.
Frequency Independent Antennas:
Wide band antennas
Frequency independent bandwidth in octave range
Broadband antennas
Frequency independent bandwidth in the range 40:1
Multiband antennas
Antenna resonate at different frequencies.
Loss of strength, A periodic reduction in the received strength of a radio transmission.
This is about the phenomenon of loss of signal in telecommunications.Fading refers to the
time variation of the received signal power caused by changes in the transmission medium or path.
Its a good presentation on Antenna topic because every one is know that in electrical engineering antenna is a complete subject & its too much difficult subject of electrical engineering....I hope this ppt slides helpful in your future...Thanks A lot guys.......

How Do Municipalities Comply with the FCC’s New Rule on Small Cell Wireless D...Meyers Nave
California municipalities are constantly faced with a changing regulatory framework related to the next generation of wireless services, known as 5G, which requires installing vast numbers of small cell equipment. These new networks present completely different local regulatory issues than the 3G and 4G networks of the past, which involved constructing large towers with a coverage range of a few miles. Supporting advanced 4G and new 5G requires telecommunications companies to build thousands of small cells at a faster pace with a far greater density of deployment. Municipalities’ policies and ordinances must keep up with this fast-changing technology.
The FCC recently adopted a new “Declaratory Ruling and Third Report and Order” that interprets provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to preempt local regulations that effectively prohibit the deployment of small cell wireless infrastructure in local communities. The FCC Ruling includes broad definitions of the types of local regulations that would be presumed to constitute an impermissible effective prohibition of wireless services, and establishes the applicable “shot clock” timelines by which local agencies must take action on small cell deployment applications.
Meyers Nave attorneys Jason Rosenberg and Claire Lai provided a webinar that explains the important new obligations for California municipalities. Their webinar covers rule violation, fees & charges, non-fee requirements, shot clocks, and grandfathering.
On July 14, 2014, the decree by virtue of which the Federal Law on Telecommunications and Broadcasting, and the Law of the Public System of Mexican Broadcasting, as well as other amendments, supplements and repeals to other related telecommunications and broadcasting legal provisions were enacted, was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation. The Decree became effective 3on August 13, 2014.

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.
