§ 101.701 Eligibility.
(a) Authorizations for stations in this service will be issued to
existing and proposed common carriers. Applications will be granted
only in cases in which it is shown that:
(1) The applicant is legally, technically, financially and otherwise
qualified to render the proposed service;
(2) There are frequencies available to enable the applicant to render a
satisfactory service; and
(3) The public interest, convenience, and necessity would be served by
a grant thereof.
(b) If the content is originated, selected, controlled, or otherwise
substantively influenced by the applicant, licensee, or a closely
affiliated entity, no station or radio frequency in this service will
be authorized, or may be utilized, to transmit any closed circuit
television signals or television signals other than broadcast
television signals, unless:
(1) Such service is otherwise permitted for a specific length of time
by grant of an acceptable petition for waiver of this rule; or
(2) Such service is otherwise permitted by a condition in the
applicable instrument of authorization; or
(3) Such service is provided pursuant to applicable FCC tariff and is
temporary and occasional intra-company television communication for
management, network supervision, or other internal carrier functions.
For purposes of this paragraph, an entity will be considered to be
"closely affiliated" with an applicant if it is in a parent-subsidiary
relationship, or both are commonly controlled, or they have any common
officers or management employees.
(c) Applications for stations or frequencies that will be used
primarily to relay broadcast television signals must include a
certification that at least fifty percent of the customers (or points
of service) on the microwave system involved, including those served
through an interconnecting carrier(s), receiving applicant's service,
will not be related or affiliated in any degree with the applicant, and
that the proposed usage by such customers, in terms of hours of use and
channels delivered, must constitute at least fifty percent of the usage
of the applicant's microwave service. Applications that do not contain
these certifications will be returned as unacceptable for filing.
