  • months after such notification was due and five months after any extension request was due. Additionally, by its own admission, Instapage did not meet the minimum coverage benchmarks required of a regional narrowband PCS licensee within five years of its license grant. Therefore, Instapage's regional narrowband PCS license, identified by call sign KNKV222, terminated automatically pursuant to sections 1.946(c) and 1.955(a)(2) on January 23, 2000. Instapage argues that its failure to file a timely notification or extension request should not lead to license termination because the Commission provided in the ULS Report and Order that licenses would not be terminated on this basis without both pre- and post-deadline notification by the Commission to the licensee. However, the stated purpose of the

In light of the automatic termination of the license, Instapage's license term is ended and it is no longer eligible to pay the outstanding amount of its winning bid obligation with installment payments.

Thus, the station license cancelled automatically no later than 1997, i.e., before Elmont renewed the license in 1999.

The monthly rates we calculate from our samples probably do not match exactly the average monthly rate for the entire population of cable operators, even though our samples are representative. Rather, the average monthly rate for the entire population falls within a range around our sample's reported average. This range is bounded by the sample average plus or minus 1.955 multiplied by the standard error of our estimated average. This gives us a ``95.5% confidence interval.'' If, for example, a sample's average monthly rate is $35.00 and the standard error is $0.50, we estimate that the true average monthly rate is between $34.02 and $35.98 with 95.5% probability.

  • section 1.2106(c) indicates future, not immediate or automatic, action. Because the dismissal requires future action by the Commission, the rule is not self-effectuating. Similarly, the dismissal provisions of sections 24.203(b) and (c) of the Commission's rules, upon which Star and Northeast rely, are not self-effectuating because the termination provisions are not solely contained in the rule. Instead, sections 1.946(c) and 1.955(a)(2) of the Commission's rules specifically provide for the automatic termination of a licensee's license for violation of section 24.203. Northeast claims that an auction applicant must be able to bid in the auction and, since it did not make the required upfront payment and therefore was not allowed to bid, it was not an auction applicant. But sections 1.2105 and

We believe that standardizing the definition of permanent discontinuance of operations will serve the public interest by providing licensees and other interested parties much needed certainty and by affording similarly-situated licensees and like services comparable regulatory treatment. Current Requirements Under section 1.955(a)(3), ``[t]he Commission authorization or the individual service rules govern the definition of permanent discontinuance for purposes of this section.'' Part 22, for example, provides that a ``station that has not provided service to subscribers for 90 continuous days is considered to have been permanently discontinued . . . .''

Permanent Discontinuance of Operations We also request comment on the Commission's rules governing the permanent discontinuance of operations, which are intended to afford licensees operational flexibility to use their spectrum efficiently while ensuring that spectrum does not lay idle for extended periods. Under Section 1.955(a)(3), an authorization will automatically terminate, without specific Commission action, if service is ``permanently discontinued.'' For the AWS-4 band, we propose to define ``permanently discontinued'' as a period of 180 consecutive days during which a licensee does not operate and does not serve at least one subscriber that is not affiliated with, controlled by, or related to the provider.

  • section 1.2106(c) indicates future, not immediate or automatic, action. Because the dismissal requires future action by the Commission, the rule is not self-effectuating. Similarly, the dismissal provisions of sections 24.203(b) and (c) of the Commission's rules, upon which Star and Northeast rely, are not self-effectuating because the termination provisions are not solely contained in the rule. Instead, sections 1.946(c) and 1.955(a)(2) of the Commission's rules specifically provide for the automatic termination of a licensee's license for violation of section 24.203. 8. Northeast claims that an auction applicant must be able to bid in the auction and, since it did not make the required upfront payment and therefore was not allowed to bid, it was not an auction applicant.
