L/Q indicates in its application that the Globalstar satellites would operate with lower average payload power than it had previously specified.14 TRW asserts mat the reduction in average power would result in a substantial reduction in the signal strength of the satellites' S-Band15 transmissions to end-users' mobile transceivers, thus making the Globalstar System more susceptible to interference.

Network control center. As a further means for preventing interference among co-located DBS satellites, we also proposed extending to DBS licensees the Section 25.272(a) requirement to establish a network control center to monitor and coordinate space station activities. Although Tempo supports the Commission's proposal, other commenters generally oppose requiring DBS licensees to establish a network control center. DIRECTV asserts that such a requirement is unnecessary because DBS licensees will do this anyway, and thus is inconsistent with the Commission's desire to eliminate unnecessary regulations.
