§ 101.1423   Canadian and Mexican coordination.

   Pursuant to § 2.301 of this chapter, MVDDS systems in the United States
   within 56 km (35 miles) of the Canadian and Mexican border will be
   granted conditional licenses, until final international agreements are
   approved. These systems may not cause harmful interference to stations
   in Canada or Mexico. MVDDS stations must comply with the procedures
   outlined under § § 101.147(p) and 1.928(f)(1) and (f)(2) of this chapter
   until final international agreements concerning MVDDS are signed.
   Section 1.928(f) of this chapter states that transmitting antennas can
   be located as close as five miles (eight kilometers) of the border if
   they point within a sector of 160 degrees away from the border, and as
   close as thirty-five miles (fifty-six km) of the border if they point
   within a sector of 200 degrees toward the border without coordination
   with Canada. MVDDS licensees shall apply this method near the Canadian
   and Mexican borders. No stations are allowed within 5 miles of the
   borders.
