This is an open proceeding to make this permanent:  
https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-361339A1.pdf 
<https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-361339A1.pdf>

The auto industry hates it and they are lobbying hard in Congress to prevent 
the FCC from making the change.

That we were able to get STA’s shows the FCC is interested in making this a 
fait accompli.   The more companies that show use of the spectrum, that lobby 
their representatives, and that show good use the the spectrum the more 
ammunition the FCC has in making this permanent.

Please - use it.  Tell your congress critters that you need it.   Show that you 
are serving a demand with it.
