Sec. 101.1413 License term and renewal expectancy.
(a) The MVDDS license term is ten years, beginning on the date of the
initial authorization grant.
(b) Application of a renewal expectancy is based on a showing of substantial
service at the end of five years into the license period and ten years into
the license period. The substantial service requirement is defined as a
service that is sound, favorable, and substantially above a level of
mediocre service which might minimally warrant renewal. At the end of five
years into the license term and ten years into the license period, the
Commission will consider factors such as:
(1) Whether the licensee's operations service niche markets or focus on
serving populations outside of areas serviced by other MVDDS licensees;
(2) Whether the licensee's operations serve populations with limited access
to telecommunications services; and
(3) A demonstration of service to a significant portion of the population or
land area of the licensed area.
(c) The renewal application of an MVDDS licensee must include the following
showings in order to claim a renewal expectancy:
(1) A coverage map depicting the served and unserved areas;
(2) A corresponding description of current service in terms of geographic
coverage and population served or transmitter locations in the served areas;
and
(3) Copies of any Commission Orders finding the licensee to have violated
the Communications Act or any Commission rule or policy and a list of any
pending proceedings that relate to any matter described by the requirements
for the renewal expectancy.
