Allocation of a given frequency band for a particular service on a primary basis entitles operators to protection against harmful interference from stations of "secondary" services. Further, secondary services cannot claim protection from harmful interference caused by stations of a primary service. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 2.104(d) and 2.105(c). Services allocated to particular frequency bands on "co-primary" basis have equal rights to operate in those frequencies. In ITU Region 2, which includes the United States, the 11.7-12.1 GHz frequency band is allocated to FSS on a primary basis. Footnote 837 to the Table of Frequency Allocations specifies that in Canada, Mexico and the United States use of the 11.7-12.1

Allocation of a given frequency band for a particular service on a primary basis entitles operators to protection against harmful interference from stations of "secondary" services. Further, secondary services cannot claim protection from harmful interference caused by stations of a primary service. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 2.104(d) and 2.105(c). Use of the band by the FSS domestically in the United States is subject to certain restrictions. Specifically, Non-Government footnote NG104 to the U.S. Table of Frequency Allocations states that the use of the bands 10.7-11.7 GHz in the fixed-satellite service is limited to international systems, i.e. "other than domestic systems." The Commission interpreted this language to mean that U.S.-licensed

A service designated as secondary may operate in a particular band only to the extent that it does not cause harmful interference to any primary or co-primary designated service.

As we noted, federal travellers information stations licensed by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) have a co-primary status with the AM expanded band stations. See Section 305(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended and 47 C.F.R Sections 2.105 and 2.106. This entitles federal travellers information stations, authorized first-in-time, to receive protection from interfering expanded band allotments. 8. In the Order, the Commission specifically rejected WGNY's suggestion that it should be allotted an expanded band frequency at this time even though its proposal is in conflict with the federal travellers information service. WGNY again proposes that AM stations in
