The Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada is seeking comments on the consultation of SRSP-303.5 Issue 3.

In particular, revisions reflect the moratorium in place on issuing new licences for wireless broadband services (WBS) and/or deployment of new stations in the frequency band 3650-3700 MHz in certain areas, and the coexistence measures between WBS and other services. These changes can be found in sections 2 and 6 of the SRSP. The remainder of the SRSP remains mostly unchanged.
