(1) After the interim buildout deadline as specified in § 27.14(r), (s),
or (t) as applicable (where the licensee meets the Interim Buildout

2180-2200 MHz bands, that permanently discontinues service as defined
in this section must notify the Commission of the discontinuance within
10 days by filing FCC Form 601 or 605 requesting license cancellation.
An authorization will automatically 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.
