What is going on? The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is currently allowing public comment on a proposal by NextNav Inc. that would reconfigure the 902-928 MHz band used by amateur radio and Meshtastic, and replace it with a backup GPS system.
At the very least, this is likely to disrupt range and performance of Meshtastic devices- but the implications could be far wider.

Crichton at Meshtastic has a detailed writeup at the Meshtastic blog, as well as a published opposition letter from Meshtastic President JM Casler. We encourage all to read Crichton’s post to get a full understanding of the FCC proposal and the negative effects it would have on the Meshtastic community.
