They further argue that the Bureau modified existing carriers' licenses by authorizing AirCell's partners to serve airborne units without any geographical limitation. Opposing carriers claim such action by the Bureau is in direct conflict with the Commission's rules, specifically 47 CFR §§ 22.905(a) and 22.911, under which a cellular licensee is granted an exclusive license to use a specific channel block in a defined geographic area.

  • Aircell Inc., FCC 02-324 (rel. Feb. 10, 2003), rejected a similar claim of exclusivity alleged by wireless carriers. The Court held that an alleged exclusive licensee cannot object to secondary use of its spectrum so long as no harmful interference exists. In particular, 47 C.F.R. § 22.911(d) provides that the ``exclusive[]'' assignment of channels provided for in 47 C.F.R. § 22.905 entitles each cellular licensee, within its CGSA, to protection of its system from co-channel and first adjacent channel interference and from the capture of its subscriber traffic by adjacent cellular systems using the same channel block.

  • Even under this configuration, the data from the first day of testing show that there is little likelihood of harmful interference. Id. at 9630 n.60. The Commission rejected as unpersuasive the evidence presented by the opposing carriers and rejected the opposing carriers' remaining arguments that, for example, the AirCell system violated their exclusive channel block assignments under 47 C.F.R. § 22.905(a), and that their licenses were improperly modified by the AirCell order. By relegating the AirCell system to secondary status in the cellular band and requiring advance notification to help en-sure that all primary cellular service is protected from harmful interference throughout the waiver term, the Bureau had, in the Commission's view, provided nonparticipating licensees with "adequate, indeed redundant, interference protection."
