§ 25.145 Licensing provisions for the Fixed-Satellite Service in the 20/30
GHz bands.
(a) [Reserved]
(b) System License. Applicants authorized to construct and launch a
system of technically identical non-geostationary satellite orbit
satellites will be awarded a single "blanket" license covering a
specified number of space stations to operate in a specified number of
orbital planes.
(c) In addition to providing the information specified in § 25.114,
each non-geostationary satellite orbit applicant shall demonstrate the
following:
(1) That the proposed system is capable of providing Fixed-Satellite
Service to all locations as far north as 70DEG North Latitude and as
far south as 55DEG South Latitude for at least 75% of every 24-hour
period; and
(2) That the proposed system is capable of providing Fixed-Satellite
Service on a continuous basis throughout the fifty states, Puerto Rico
and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
(3) [Reserved]
(d) [Reserved]
(e) Prohibition of certain agreements. No license shall be granted to
any applicant for a space station in the Fixed-Satellite Service
operating in the 20/30 GHz band if that applicant, or any persons or
companies controlling or controlled by the applicant, shall acquire or
enjoy any right, for the purpose of handling traffic to or from the
United States, its territories or possession, to construct or operate
space segment or earth stations, or to interchange traffic, which is
denied to any other United States company by reason of any concession,
contract, understanding, or working arrangement to which the Licensee
or any persons or companies controlling or controlled by the Licensee
are parties.
(f)(1) [Reserved]
(2) Licensees shall submit to the Commission a yearly report indicating
the number of earth stations actually brought into service under its
blanket licensing authority. The annual report is due to the Commission
no later than the first day of April of each year and shall indicate
the deployment figures for the preceding calendar year.
(g) Protection from interference from terrestrial operation in the 18.3
to 19.3 GHz band. Fixed-Satellite Service operators are entitled to
protection from harmful interference from terrestrial stations
operating in this frequency band. See § § 21.901(e), 74.502(c),
74.602(g), 78.18(a)(4), and 101.147(r) of this chapter.
(h) Replacement of Space Stations within the System License Term.
Licensees of NGSO FSS systems in the 18.8-19.3 GHz and 28.6-29.1 GHz
frequency bands authorized through a blanket license pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this section need not file separate applications to
launch and operate technically identical replacement satellites within
the term of the system authorization. However, the licensee shall
certify to the Commission, at least thirty days prior to launch of such
replacement(s) that:
(1) The licensee intends to launch a space station into the
previously-authorized orbit that is technically identical to those
authorized in its system authorization and
(2) Launch of this space station will not cause the license to exceed
the total number of operating space stations authorized by the
Commission.
