Vern, I presume this is the paperwork you are speaking about (from montanar's earlier post):

Vern,

Greetings! The FAA has just issued guidelines for Unmanned Aircraft Operations. They include recognition of:

"Unmanned Aircraft Systems Operations in the U.S. National Airspace System--Interim Operational Approval Guidance' (UAS Policy 05-01). In this document, the FAA set out guidance for public use of unmanned aircraft by defining a process for evaluating applications for Certificate(s) of Waiver or Authorization (COA's) for unmanned aircraft to operate in the National Airspace System.............

The FAA has issued more than 50 COA's over the past 2 years and
anticipates issuing a record number of COA's this year. For more information, Memorandum on UAS Policy (05-01) and other policy guidance is available at the FAA Web site: http://www.faa.gov/uas." See below for more info.

Thanks Vern much appreciated especially coming from you. This lends a lot of credibility to the "red tape" factor as a major problem for R&D proof of concept as far as the Strat is concerned but not only.

I think delays in Hotzone deployment are also linked to regulatory issues specific to WiMax frequency deployment in a backhauling function for DECT.
