We further clarified that nationwide and geographic area licensees have the right to share with non-exclusive incumbent licensees on a non-interfering basis. Section 22.503(i) of our rules was amended to reflect those clarifications. Blooston now asks the Commission to clarify that a non-geographic area licensee that achieved exclusivity prior to the adoption of the paging auction rules but, after the adoption of those rules, failed to maintain the minimum number of transmitters that had been required to achieve exclusivity does not thereby lose its

Due Diligence: Potential bidders are reminded that there are a number of incumbent licensees already licensed and operating on frequencies that will be subject to the upcoming auction. Geographic area licensees in accordance with the Commission's Rules must protect such incumbents from harmful interference. See 47 C.F.R. § 22.503(i). These limitations may restrict the ability of such geographic area licensees to use certain portions of the electromagnetic spectrum or provide service to certain areas in their geographic license areas. In addition, potential bidders seeking licenses for geographic areas adjacent to the Canadian and Mexican border should be aware that the use of some or all of the channels they

  • Licensees Next, the licensee petitioners and two of the intervenors contend that geographic licensees should be required under the new system to provide advance notice of new construction to adjacent site-specific licensees, in order to warn them of potential interference, as they are required to do for adjacent geographic licensees. See Second R&O, 12 F.C.C.R. at 2765 App. A, § 22.503(h). Site-specific incumbent licensees, however, do not share geographic licensees' need for such warning because the existing rules furnish interference protection through requirements "that govern transmitter height and power, distance between transmission stations, the licensee's protected service area, and/or the field strength of the licensee's service and interfering signals."
