  • efforts to provide high speed Internet service in rural America and on tribal lands. II. BACKGROUND Onsat plans to provide high speed Internet service in rural America and on tribal lands, a goal that has been enthusiastically endorsed by the Commission. To help it to implement its proposal, on September 10, 1999, Onsat filed a petition for waiver of section 25.212(d) to permit C-band 3.7-meter antennas to be "routinely licensed." Section 25.212(d) provides that C-band antennas must be at least 4.5 meters in diameter to qualify for routine licensing. In this Order, we address Onsat's waiver petition for routine licensing of 3.7-meter C-band antennas. Onsat's petition for waiver was placed on public notice, and was unopposed. III.

Similar to the Ku-band VSATs, we routinely process applications for CSAT networks that meet the antenna performance standards in Section 25.209 of our rules and that do not exceed the power levels specified in Sections 25.211(d) and 25.212(d) necessary to protect two-degree spaced satellites. Applicants for non-routine operations must submit the ASIA analyses with their application and demonstrate that unacceptable interference to adjacent satellite operators will not occur.

Onsat asserts that C-Band systems using 3.7 meter dishes are functionally equivalent or superior to Ku-Band dishes that are already permitted to operate under blanket VSAT licenses. Onsat has petitioned for
