The committee adopted an amendment from Rep. **David Joyce** , R-Ohio, that would prevent any of the agency’s money from going toward implementing the plan.\n\nThe proposal at issue comes from NextNav, a geolocation company asking the FCC to alter the 902-928 MegaHertz (MHz) band to give the company 15 megahertz in support of a terrestrial GPS backup and 5G broadband. It’s already one of the main license holders.\n\nLearn more about the Broadband Community...\n\n\n                            Start Your Broadband Journey Here\n                        \n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
