Speed Control Was Installed, Not On at Time of Amtrak Crash

11. Nope, I'm just saying get rid of de facto leases.

Technically it's not privately controlled as the FCC retains all rights, but the way the leases work create a clusterfuck of paperwork. Odds are they were doing everything they could to get the spectrum.

You blame the red tape, I blame the way leases are handled. If there's an important public safety concern, the FCC should've been able to simply override any spectrum lease on a fast track. It can't be that the private spectrum owners wanted to get as much out of the transfer as they possibly could and fought tooth and nail for spectrum that was obviously a public safety concern.

It's not so much red tape in that the FCCs hands were and are tied by these lease arrangements.
