The result is that while incumbent FS licensees are able to continue operating their systems with primary status - as those systems currently exist - any expansions and most modifications to the systems result in secondary status. Also, no new FS licenses will be granted in the 18.58-19.3 GHz portion of the 18 GHz band. As noted in the Order, San Diego was an incumbent licensee operating Station WJY47 on a primary basis when the Commission adopted and released the 18 GHz Report and Order. Station WJY47 was authorized for paths on frequencies 1975 MHz, 1985 MHz, 6735 MHz, 6755 MHz, and 19015 MHz. San Diego's license for

A third alternative would be to refrain from providing for a voluntary negotiation period and proceed immediately to a mandatory negotiation and conversion phase, later to be followed by a sunset date after which incumbents would be required to assume their own conversion costs. The Commission used this procedure to clear terrestrial fixed microwave services from 18.58-19.3 GHz band when the Commission reallocated it to FSS. We seek comments on the benefits and disadvantages of a voluntary negotiation period, and inquire what mandatory conversion requirements should apply if we decide not to adopt a voluntary negotiation period.

We seek comment on the proposal to rechannelize this portion of the band. We also seek comment on whether to allow the emission and channelization flexibility from 18.3 to 18.58 GHz. Commenters should address whether such changes would affect the relocation status of licensees in that sub-band. We believe that our proposed changes will afford MVPDs opportunities to gain access to large blocks of spectrum whereby they are able to provide video services in a more balanced competitive environment.

In furtherance of our spectrum management goals of encouraging efficient use of spectrum for the 18 GHz band, we adopt rules allowing emission and channelization flexibility from 18.3 to 18.58 GHz for MVPDs. We find that extending emission and channelization flexibility will allow MVPDs to efficiently use spectrum in this sub-band without causing unacceptably high levels of interference with other licensees. In the event that a FSS licensee intends to turn on a system within interference range of the incumbent licensee, the incumbent licensee would have to cease operations or

Furthermore, these are the only bands where NGSO FSS systems are not required to protect every current and future GSO FSS system and therefore represent the best opportunity for ubiquitously deployed NGSO FSS user terminals. Therefore the U.S. supports the identification of these bands for HDFSS on a global basis. The bands 18.58-18.8 GHz, and 40-42 GHz (all space-to-Earth), and 28.35-28.6 GHz, 29.25-29.5 GHz and 48.2-50.2 GHz (all Earth-to-space), are also planned for use by many administrations for HDFSS applications.

The Commission ultimately redesignated 500 megahertz of spectrum at 18.3-18.8 GHz for GSO FSS systems: 280 megahertz for co-primary use by GSO FSS and the fixed terrestrial service in the 18.3-18.58 GHz band, and 220 megahertz to GSO FSS for primary use in the 18.58-18.8 GHz band. VisionStar does not explain how the choice of 500 megahertz within a 1100 megahertz bandwith would require it to ``redesign'' its satellite or why it could not ``retune'' its transponders to operate on the designated frequencies. Indeed, other similarly-situated first-round licensees began construction of their systems in compliance with their milestones. Moreover, no other licensee has requested additional

This action will enhance opportunities for additional competition to incumbent cable operators by making NMVPDs eligible to use all CARS frequencies, including frequencies in the 12 GHz CARS band. It will also increase the number of frequencies available to NMVPDs for video programming distribution in the 18 GHz band (17.70 to 18.58 GHz), in addition to those on which they may currently operate under Part 101 of the Commission's rules. Thus, all MVPDs will have the opportunity to use CARS frequencies to provide video services in a balanced competitive environment in which all MVPDs share microwave spectrum.

Many administrations are also planning to use the 18.58-18.8 GHz (space-to-Earth) band and the 28.35-28.6 GHz and 29.25-29.5 GHz (Earth-to-space) bands for HDFSS applications. In the 18.6-18.8 GHz band, the FSS allocation is co-primary with the Earth exploration-satellite service (passive) with restrictions on power and orbit types as described in S5.522A and S5.522B. Between 37.5 and 50.2 GHz, many administrations have submitted ITU filings for FSS systems in the

This action will enhance opportunities for additional competition to incumbent cable operators by making NMVPDs eligible to use all CARS frequencies, including frequencies in the 12 GHz CARS band. It will also increase the number of frequencies available to NMVPDs for video programming distribution in the 18 GHz band (17.70 to 18.58 GHz), in addition to those on which they may currently operate under Part 101 of the Commission's rules.

A third alternative would be to refrain from providing for a voluntary negotiation period and proceed immediately to a mandatory negotiation and conversion phase, later to be followed by a sunset date after which incumbents would be required to assume their own conversion costs. The Commission used this procedure to clear terrestrial fixed microwave services from 18.58-19.3 GHz band when the Commission reallocated it to FSS. We seek comments on the benefits and disadvantages of a voluntary negotiation period, and inquire what mandatory conversion requirements should apply if we decide not to adopt a voluntary negotiation period.

  • FSS earth station operations. The Commission released the 18 GHz Order on June 22, 2000, in which it concluded that separating FS operations from ubiquitously deployed FSS earth stations served the public interest. The Commission, thus, allocated separate sub-bands to each service, and adopted certain relocation rules that allowed FSS licensees to enter into negotiations with FS licensees in the 18.58-19.3 GHz band for the purpose of agreeing to terms under which the terrestrial licensees would either relocate or accept a sharing agreement. Notwithstanding its decision to separate FS and FSS operations in the 18 GHz band, the Commission retained co-primary allocations for FSS and FS operations in the 18.3-18.58 GHz band because ``no other spectrum [was] available'' to relocate incumbent

This action will enhance opportunities for additional competition to incumbent cable operators by making NMVPDs eligible to use all CARS frequencies, including frequencies in the 12 GHz CARS band. It will also increase the number of frequencies available to NMVPDs for video programming distribution in the 18 GHz band (17.70 to 18.58 GHz), in addition to those on which they may currently operate under Part 101 of the Commission's rules.

The Commission released the 18 GHz Order on June 22, 2000, in which it concluded that separating FS operations from ubiquitously deployed FSS earth stations served the public interest. The Commission, thus, allocated separate sub-bands to each service, and adopted certain relocation rules that allowed FSS licensees to enter into negotiations with FS licensees in the 18.58-19.3 GHz band for the purpose of agreeing to terms under which the terrestrial licensees would either relocate or accept a sharing agreement.

Recently, the Commission modified the rules for the deployment of services in the 18 GHz band. As revised, the Ka-band arrangement designates the following frequencies for U.S. commercial GSO FSS systems: GSO FSS-Designated Band Segment Other Co-Primary Designations 18.3-18.58 GHz (downlink) Fixed Services 18.58-18.8 GHz (downlink) 19.7-20.2 GHz (downlink) 28.35-28.6 GHz (uplink) 29.25-29.5 GHz (uplink) NGSO MSS feeder links 29.5-30.0 GHz (uplink) The applications at issue were originally filed separately by Loral's predecessors in interest, Orion Network Systems, Inc.

Furthermore, these are the only bands where NGSO FSS systems are not required to protect every current and future GSO FSS system and therefore represent the best opportunity for ubiquitously deployed NGSO FSS user terminals. Therefore the U.S. supports the identification of these bands for HDFSS on a global basis. The bands 18.58-18.8 GHz, and 40-42 GHz (all space-to-Earth), and 28.35-28.6 GHz, 29.25-29.5 GHz and 48.2-50.2 GHz (all Earth-to-space), are also planned for use by many administrations for HDFSS applications. Therefore the U.S. supports the identification of these bands for HDFSS on a global basis. The U.S. will continue to participate in ITU-R studies related to agenda item 1.25 and develop views on

The Commission ultimately redesignated 500 megahertz of spectrum at 18.3-18.8 GHz for GSO FSS systems: 280 megahertz for co-primary use by GSO FSS and the fixed terrestrial service in the 18.3-18.58 GHz band, and 220 megahertz to GSO FSS for primary use in the 18.58-18.8 GHz band. VisionStar does not explain how the choice of 500 megahertz within a 1100 megahertz bandwith would require it to ``redesign'' its satellite or why it could not ``retune'' its transponders to operate on the designated frequencies.

This action will enhance opportunities for additional competition to incumbent cable operators by making NMVPDs eligible to use all CARS frequencies, including frequencies in the 12 GHz CARS band. It will also increase the number of frequencies available to NMVPDs for video programming distribution in the 18 GHz band (17.70 to 18.58 GHz), in addition to those on which they may currently operate under Part 101 of the Commission's rules.

The Commission released the 18 GHz Order on June 22, 2000, in which it concluded that separating FS operations from ubiquitously deployed FSS earth stations served the public interest. The Commission, thus, allocated separate sub-bands to each service, and adopted certain relocation rules that allowed FSS licensees to enter into negotiations with FS licensees in the 18.58-19.3 GHz band for the purpose of agreeing to terms under which the terrestrial licensees would either relocate or accept a sharing agreement. Notwithstanding its decision to separate FS and FSS operations in the 18 GHz band, the Commission retained co-primary allocations for FSS and FS operations in the 18.3-18.58 GHz band because ``no other spectrum [was] available'' to relocate incumbent

We find that extending emission and channelization flexibility will allow MVPDs to efficiently use spectrum in this sub-band without causing unacceptably high levels of interference with other licensees.

This action will enhance opportunities for additional competition to incumbent cable operators by making NMVPDs eligible to use all CARS frequencies, including frequencies in the 12 GHz CARS band. It will also increase the number of frequencies available to NMVPDs for video programming distribution in the 18 GHz band (17.70 to 18.58 GHz), in addition to those on which they may currently operate under Part 101 of the Commission's rules.

The Commission released the 18 GHz Order on June 22, 2000, in which it concluded that separating FS operations from ubiquitously deployed FSS earth stations served the public interest. The Commission, thus, allocated separate sub-bands to each service, and adopted certain relocation rules that allowed FSS licensees to enter into negotiations with FS licensees in the 18.58-19.3 GHz band for the purpose of agreeing to terms under which the terrestrial licensees would either relocate or accept a sharing agreement.

This action will enhance opportunities for additional competition to incumbent cable operators by making NMVPDs eligible to use all CARS frequencies, including frequencies in the 12 GHz CARS band. It will also increase the number of frequencies available to NMVPDs for video programming distribution in the 18 GHz band (17.70 to 18.58 GHz), in addition to those on which they may currently operate under Part 101 of the Commission's rules.

  • FSS earth station operations. The Commission released the 18 GHz Order on June 22, 2000, in which it concluded that separating FS operations from ubiquitously deployed FSS earth stations served the public interest. The Commission, thus, allocated separate sub-bands to each service, and adopted certain relocation rules that allowed FSS licensees to enter into negotiations with FS licensees in the 18.58-19.3 GHz band for the purpose of agreeing to terms under which the terrestrial licensees would either relocate or accept a sharing agreement. Notwithstanding its decision to separate FS and FSS operations in the 18 GHz band, the Commission retained co-primary allocations for FSS and FS operations in the 18.3-18.58 GHz band because ``no other spectrum [was] available'' to relocate incumbent

We seek comment on the proposal to rechannelize this portion of the band. We also seek comment on whether to allow the emission and channelization flexibility from 18.3 to 18.58 GHz. Commenters should address whether such changes would affect the relocation status of licensees in that sub-band.

In furtherance of our spectrum management goals of encouraging efficient use of spectrum for the 18 GHz band, we adopt rules allowing emission and channelization flexibility from 18.3 to 18.58 GHz for MVPDs. We find that extending emission and channelization flexibility will allow MVPDs to efficiently use spectrum in this sub-band without causing unacceptably high levels of interference with other licensees.

  • regarding the use of HAPS for fixed and mobile services above 3 GHz. Tom Hayden introduced document 004 re: agenda item 1.25. Tom proposed a restructuring of the order of paragraphs, which was accepted. It was suggested that the paper focus on bands above 19.7 GHz. Discussion resulted in agreement that the U.S. interests extend down to the bands above 18.58 GHz. and that the concern could be addressed by adding text regarding the band 17.3- 17.7 GHz. to the background and modifying the issue statement. After a number of modifications the document was tentatively approved, pending distribution of an additional paragraph to be added.

This action will enhance opportunities for additional competition to incumbent cable operators by making NMVPDs eligible to use all CARS frequencies, including frequencies in the 12 GHz CARS band. It will also increase the number of frequencies available to NMVPDs for video programming distribution in the 18 GHz band (17.70 to 18.58 GHz), in addition to those on which they may currently operate under Part 101 of the Commission's rules. Thus, all MVPDs will have the opportunity to use CARS frequencies to provide video services in a balanced competitive environment in which all MVPDs share microwave spectrum.

The Commission released the 18 GHz Order on June 22, 2000, in which it concluded that separating FS operations from ubiquitously deployed FSS earth stations served the public interest. The Commission, thus, allocated separate sub-bands to each service, and adopted certain relocation rules that allowed FSS licensees to enter into negotiations with FS licensees in the 18.58-19.3 GHz band for the purpose of agreeing to terms under which the terrestrial licensees would either relocate or accept a sharing agreement. Notwithstanding its decision to separate FS and FSS operations in the 18 GHz band, the Commission retained co-primary allocations for FSS and FS operations in the 18.3-18.58 GHz band because ``no other spectrum [was] available'' to relocate incumbent

The Commission released the 18 GHz Order on June 22, 2000, in which it concluded that separating FS operations from ubiquitously deployed FSS earth stations served the public interest. The Commission, thus, allocated separate sub-bands to each service, and adopted certain relocation rules that allowed FSS licensees to enter into negotiations with FS licensees in the 18.58-19.3 GHz band for the purpose of agreeing to terms under which the terrestrial licensees would either relocate or accept a sharing agreement. Notwithstanding its decision to separate FS and FSS operations in the 18 GHz band, the Commission retained co-primary allocations for FSS and FS operations in the 18.3-18.58 GHz band because ``no other spectrum [was] available'' to relocate incumbent

Tom proposed a restructuring of the order of paragraphs, which was accepted. It was suggested that the paper focus on bands above 19.7 GHz. Discussion resulted in agreement that the U.S. interests extend down to the bands above 18.58 GHz. and that the concern could be addressed by adding text regarding the band 17.3- 17.7 GHz. to the background and modifying the issue statement.

This action will enhance opportunities for additional competition to incumbent cable operators by making NMVPDs eligible to use all CARS frequencies, including frequencies in the 12 GHz CARS band. It will also increase the number of frequencies available to NMVPDs for video programming distribution in the 18 GHz band (17.70 to 18.58 GHz), in addition to those on which they may currently operate under Part 101 of the Commission's rules.

The Commission released the 18 GHz Order on June 22, 2000, in which it concluded that separating FS operations from ubiquitously deployed FSS earth stations served the public interest. The Commission, thus, allocated separate sub-bands to each service, and adopted certain relocation rules that allowed FSS licensees to enter into negotiations with FS licensees in the 18.58-19.3 GHz band for the purpose of agreeing to terms under which the terrestrial licensees would either relocate or accept a sharing agreement.

Many administrations are also planning to use the 18.58-18.8 GHz (space-to-Earth) band and the 28.35-28.6 GHz and 29.25-29.5 GHz (Earth-to-space) bands for HDFSS applications. In the 18.6-18.8 GHz band, the FSS allocation is co-primary with the Earth exploration-satellite service (passive) with restrictions on power and orbit types as described in S5.522A and S5.522B. Between 37.5 and 50.2 GHz, many administrations have submitted ITU filings for FSS systems in the

This action will enhance opportunities for additional competition to incumbent cable operators by making NMVPDs eligible to use all CARS frequencies, including frequencies in the 12 GHz CARS band. It will also increase the number of frequencies available to NMVPDs for video programming distribution in the 18 GHz band (17.70 to 18.58 GHz), in addition to those on which they may currently operate under Part 101 of the Commission's rules.

  • FSS earth station operations. The Commission released the 18 GHz Order on June 22, 2000, in which it concluded that separating FS operations from ubiquitously deployed FSS earth stations served the public interest. The Commission, thus, allocated separate sub-bands to each service, and adopted certain relocation rules that allowed FSS licensees to enter into negotiations with FS licensees in the 18.58-19.3 GHz band for the purpose of agreeing to terms under which the terrestrial licensees would either relocate or accept a sharing agreement. Notwithstanding its decision to separate FS and FSS operations in the 18 GHz band, the Commission retained co-primary allocations for FSS and FS operations in the 18.3-18.58 GHz band because ``no other spectrum [was] available'' to relocate incumbent

We seek comment on the proposal to rechannelize this portion of the band. We also seek comment on whether to allow the emission and channelization flexibility from 18.3 to 18.58 GHz. Commenters should address whether such changes would affect the relocation status of licensees in that sub-band.

Finally, the Commission proposed increasing the backlobe limit in the unshared portions of the Ka-band, and keeping the current limit in the 18.58-18.8 GHz and 18.8-19.3 GHz bands only until June 8, 2010, when this band will no longer be shared with terrestrial wireless operations.

In furtherance of our spectrum management goals of encouraging efficient use of spectrum for the 18 GHz band, we adopt rules allowing emission and channelization flexibility from 18.3 to 18.58 GHz for MVPDs. We find that extending emission and channelization flexibility will allow MVPDs to efficiently use spectrum in this sub-band without causing unacceptably high levels of interference with other licensees. In the event that a FSS licensee intends to turn on a system within interference range of the incumbent licensee, the incumbent licensee would have to cease operations or

This action will enhance opportunities for additional competition to incumbent cable operators by making NMVPDs eligible to use all CARS frequencies, including frequencies in the 12 GHz CARS band. It will also increase the number of frequencies available to NMVPDs for video programming distribution in the 18 GHz band (17.70 to 18.58 GHz), in addition to those on which they may currently operate under Part 101 of the Commission's rules.

The Commission released the 18 GHz Order on June 22, 2000, in which it concluded that separating FS operations from ubiquitously deployed FSS earth stations served the public interest. The Commission, thus, allocated separate sub-bands to each service, and adopted certain relocation rules that allowed FSS licensees to enter into negotiations with FS licensees in the 18.58-19.3 GHz band for the purpose of agreeing to terms under which the terrestrial licensees would either relocate or accept a sharing agreement. Notwithstanding its decision to separate FS and FSS operations in the 18 GHz band, the Commission retained co-primary allocations for FSS and FS operations in the 18.3-18.58 GHz band because ``no other spectrum [was] available'' to relocate incumbent

We find that extending emission and channelization flexibility will allow MVPDs to efficiently use spectrum in this sub-band without causing unacceptably high levels of interference with other licensees.

This action will enhance opportunities for additional competition to incumbent cable operators by making NMVPDs eligible to use all CARS frequencies, including frequencies in the 12 GHz CARS band. It will also increase the number of frequencies available to NMVPDs for video programming distribution in the 18 GHz band (17.70 to 18.58 GHz), in addition to those on which they may currently operate under Part 101 of the Commission's rules.

  • FSS earth station operations. The Commission released the 18 GHz Order on June 22, 2000, in which it concluded that separating FS operations from ubiquitously deployed FSS earth stations served the public interest. The Commission, thus, allocated separate sub-bands to each service, and adopted certain relocation rules that allowed FSS licensees to enter into negotiations with FS licensees in the 18.58-19.3 GHz band for the purpose of agreeing to terms under which the terrestrial licensees would either relocate or accept a sharing agreement. Notwithstanding its decision to separate FS and FSS operations in the 18 GHz band, the Commission retained co-primary allocations for FSS and FS operations in the 18.3-18.58 GHz band because ``no other spectrum [was] available'' to relocate incumbent

We seek comment on the proposal to rechannelize this portion of the band. We also seek comment on whether to allow the emission and channelization flexibility from 18.3 to 18.58 GHz. Commenters should address whether such changes would affect the relocation status of licensees in that sub-band.

We find that extending emission and channelization flexibility will allow MVPDs to efficiently use spectrum in this sub-band without causing unacceptably high levels of interference with other licensees.

  • regarding the use of HAPS for fixed and mobile services above 3 GHz. Tom Hayden introduced document 004 re: agenda item 1.25. Tom proposed a restructuring of the order of paragraphs, which was accepted. It was suggested that the paper focus on bands above 19.7 GHz. Discussion resulted in agreement that the U.S. interests extend down to the bands above 18.58 GHz. and that the concern could be addressed by adding text regarding the band 17.3- 17.7 GHz. to the background and modifying the issue statement. After a number of modifications the document was tentatively approved, pending distribution of an additional paragraph to be added.

This action will enhance opportunities for additional competition to incumbent cable operators by making NMVPDs eligible to use all CARS frequencies, including frequencies in the 12 GHz CARS band. It will also increase the number of frequencies available to NMVPDs for video programming distribution in the 18 GHz band (17.70 to 18.58 GHz), in addition to those on which they may currently operate under Part 101 of the Commission's rules. Thus, all MVPDs will have the opportunity to use CARS frequencies to provide video services in a balanced competitive environment in which all MVPDs share microwave spectrum.

Furthermore, these are the only bands where NGSO FSS systems are not required to protect every current and future GSO FSS system and therefore represent the best opportunity for ubiquitously deployed NGSO FSS user terminals. Therefore the U.S. supports the identification of these bands for HDFSS on a global basis. The bands 18.58-18.8 GHz, and 40-42 GHz (all space-to-Earth), and 28.35-28.6 GHz, 29.25-29.5 GHz and 48.2-50.2 GHz (all Earth-to-space), are also planned for use by many administrations for HDFSS applications.

This action will enhance opportunities for additional competition to incumbent cable operators by making NMVPDs eligible to use all CARS frequencies, including frequencies in the 12 GHz CARS band. It will also increase the number of frequencies available to NMVPDs for video programming distribution in the 18 GHz band (17.70 to 18.58 GHz), in addition to those on which they may currently operate under Part 101 of the Commission's rules.

  • FSS earth station operations. The Commission released the 18 GHz Order on June 22, 2000, in which it concluded that separating FS operations from ubiquitously deployed FSS earth stations served the public interest. The Commission, thus, allocated separate sub-bands to each service, and adopted certain relocation rules that allowed FSS licensees to enter into negotiations with FS licensees in the 18.58-19.3 GHz band for the purpose of agreeing to terms under which the terrestrial licensees would either relocate or accept a sharing agreement. Notwithstanding its decision to separate FS and FSS operations in the 18 GHz band, the Commission retained co-primary allocations for FSS and FS operations in the 18.3-18.58 GHz band because ``no other spectrum [was] available'' to relocate incumbent

In furtherance of our spectrum management goals of encouraging efficient use of spectrum for the 18 GHz band, we adopt rules allowing emission and channelization flexibility from 18.3 to 18.58 GHz for MVPDs. We find that extending emission and channelization flexibility will allow MVPDs to efficiently use spectrum in this sub-band without causing unacceptably high levels of interference with other licensees.

The result is that while incumbent FS licensees are able to continue operating their systems with primary status - as those systems currently exist - any expansions and most modifications to the systems result in secondary status. Also, no new FS licenses will be granted in the 18.58-19.3 GHz portion of the 18 GHz band. Rye is a small local exchange carrier serving approximately 180 customers in rural Colorado. Rye was the licensee of point-to-point microwave Station KYO30, which was authorized to operate a transmit path on 18.585 GHz from Kim, Colorado to Tecolote Mountain, Colorado. Due to Rye's inadvertence, the license for this station was allowed to

This action will enhance opportunities for additional competition to incumbent cable operators by making NMVPDs eligible to use all CARS frequencies, including frequencies in the 12 GHz CARS band. It will also increase the number of frequencies available to NMVPDs for video programming distribution in the 18 GHz band (17.70 to 18.58 GHz), in addition to those on which they may currently operate under Part 101 of the Commission's rules.

  • FSS earth station operations. The Commission released the 18 GHz Order on June 22, 2000, in which it concluded that separating FS operations from ubiquitously deployed FSS earth stations served the public interest. The Commission, thus, allocated separate sub-bands to each service, and adopted certain relocation rules that allowed FSS licensees to enter into negotiations with FS licensees in the 18.58-19.3 GHz band for the purpose of agreeing to terms under which the terrestrial licensees would either relocate or accept a sharing agreement. Notwithstanding its decision to separate FS and FSS operations in the 18 GHz band, the Commission retained co-primary allocations for FSS and FS operations in the 18.3-18.58 GHz band because ``no other spectrum [was] available'' to relocate incumbent

We seek comment on the proposal to rechannelize this portion of the band. We also seek comment on whether to allow the emission and channelization flexibility from 18.3 to 18.58 GHz. Commenters should address whether such changes would affect the relocation status of licensees in that sub-band.

We find that extending emission and channelization flexibility will allow MVPDs to efficiently use spectrum in this sub-band without causing unacceptably high levels of interference with other licensees.

Commenters should address whether such changes would affect the relocation status of licensees in that sub-band. We believe that our proposed changes will afford MVPDs opportunities to gain access to large blocks of spectrum whereby they are able to provide video services in a more balanced competitive environment.

To achieve this goal in the 18 GHz Order, the Commission adopted the following band plan and amended the Table of Frequency Allocations: FS 600 MHz GSO/FSS&FS 280 MHz GSO/FSS 220 MHz NGSO/FSS 500 MHz MSS/FL & FS 400 MHz GSO/FSS 500 MHz 17.7 18.3 18.58 18.8 19.3 19.7 20.2 GHz Under this new band plan, the Commission designated a total of 1280 MHz of spectrum for the FS as follows: 600 MHz of spectrum in the 17.7-18.3 GHz band for primary use by the FS, 280 MHz of spectrum in the 18.3-18.58 GHz band, designated for co-primary use by the FS and the GSO/FSS, 400

This action will enhance opportunities for additional competition to incumbent cable operators by making NMVPDs eligible to use all CARS frequencies, including frequencies in the 12 GHz CARS band. It will also increase the number of frequencies available to NMVPDs for video programming distribution in the 18 GHz band (17.70 to 18.58 GHz), in addition to those on which they may currently operate under Part 101 of the Commission's rules. Thus, all MVPDs will have the opportunity to use CARS frequencies to provide video services in a balanced competitive environment in which all MVPDs share microwave spectrum.

The Commission, thus, allocated separate sub-bands to each service, and adopted certain relocation rules that allowed FSS licensees to enter into negotiations with FS licensees in the 18.58-19.3 GHz band for the purpose of agreeing to terms under which the terrestrial licensees would either relocate or accept a sharing agreement.
