during any subsequent license term, as follows:
(1) After the interim buildout deadline as specified in § 27.14(r), (s), or
(t) as applicable (where the licensee meets the Interim Buildout

or an AWS authorization in the 1695-1710 MHz, 1755-1780 MHz, 1915-1920 MHz,
1995-2000 MHz, 2000-2020 MHz, 2155-2180 MHz, and 2180-2200 MHz bands, that

terminate, without specific Commission action, if service is permanently
discontinued as defined in this section, even if a licensee fails to file
the required form requesting license cancellation.
