  • these procedures applicable to the 4.9 GHz band, we propose to codify these procedures for the 2.3 GHz band. In summary, under our proposal, a 4.9 GHz licensee would be authorized to provide a variety or combination of fixed, mobile (except aeronautical mobile), common carrier, and non-common carrier services. We seek comment on these proposals. 2. Eligibility; Spectrum Aggregation Sections 27.12 and 27.302 of the Commission's Rules impose no restrictions on eligibility, other than the foreign ownership restrictions set forth in Section 310 of the Communications Act, and discussed below. Consistent with these sections of the existing rules in Part 27, we propose that there will be no additional restrictions on eligibility for a license in the 4.9 GHz band. We

In the Upper 700 MHz First Report and Order, we concluded that Section 27.12 of the Commission's rules, which implements Section 310 of the Act, should apply to applicants for licenses in the 747-762 MHz and 777-792 MHz bands. We also decided that common carriers and non-common carriers will not be subject to varied reporting obligations. To enable the Commission to monitor effectively compliance with the alien ownership restrictions, we determined that both common

Foreign Ownership Restrictions Sections 310(a) and 310(b) of the Communications Act, as modified by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, impose foreign ownership and citizenship requirements that restrict the issuance of licenses to certain applicants. Section 27.12 of the Commission's Rules, which implements Section 310 of the Act, would by its terms apply to applicants for licenses in the bands subject to this proceeding. An applicant requesting authorization only for non-common carrier or non-broadcast services would be subject to Section 310(a) but not to the additional prohibitions of Section 310(b). An applicant requesting authorization for broadcast or

In recent reply comments concerning our 2002 Biennial Review, the American Mobile Telecommunications Association, Inc. (AMTA) recommended that we take similar action to delete the reference to ``common carrier'' and instead use the term ``telecommunications carrier.'' Reply Comments of

We seek comment on these proposals.

  • Notice, the Commission proposed that there be no restrictions on eligibility to hold a license in the Lower 700 MHz Band, other than the foreign ownership restrictions imposed under Section 310 of the Communications Act. The Commission noted the potential benefits of opening this spectrum to as wide a range of applicants as possible. It tentatively concluded to apply Section 27.12 of the Commission's rules, which imposes no eligibility restrictions other than the foreign ownership restrictions set forth by statute. One comment, supporting the Commission's proposal, was received on this portion of the Notice. Discussion. Consistent with our tentative conclusion in the Notice, we will apply Section 27.12's eligibility provisions to the Lower 700 MHz Band. As we determined for the

Eligibility; Spectrum Aggregation Sections 27.12 and 27.302 of the Commission's Rules impose no restrictions on eligibility, other than the foreign ownership restrictions set forth in Section 310 of the Communications Act, and discussed below. Consistent with these sections of the existing rules in Part 27, we propose that there will be no additional restrictions on eligibility for a license in the 4.9 GHz band. We

  • Background. The NPRM sought comment on a range of issues raised in the Balanced Budget Act Notice regarding Band Manager licensing, including eligibility and use restrictions for Band Manager licenses, whether to adopt measures that might promote competition among Band Managers, and whether to adopt rules to ensure fair and nondiscriminatory access by prospective users of Band Manager Spectrum. Sections 27.12 and 27.302 of the Commission's Rules impose no restrictions on eligibility, other than the foreign ownership restrictions set forth in Section 310 of the Communications Act. In the 700 MHz First Report and Order, we decided to impose no restrictions on eligibility for a license in the 747-762 MHz and 777-792 MHz bands. Discussion. As discussed in paragraphs 26 -51,

In the Upper 700 MHz First Report and Order, we concluded that Section 27.12 of the Commission's rules, which implements Section 310 of the Act, should apply to applicants for licenses in the 747-762 MHz and 777-792 MHz bands. We also decided that common carriers and non-common carriers will not be subject to varied reporting obligations. To enable the Commission to monitor effectively compliance with the alien ownership restrictions, we determined that both common

  • with a minimum of interference. As the Commission stated in the 700 MHz First Report and Order, any interference issues that may arise among licensees can be satisfactorily resolved by general non-interference standards and technical rules. We believe that this conclusion applies for licensees in the 3650-3700 MHz band. We seek comment on this tentative finding. Eligibility; Spectrum Aggregation Sections 27.12 and 27.302 of the Commission's rules impose no restrictions on eligibility, other than the foreign ownership restrictions set forth in Section 310 of the Communications Act, and discussed below. Consistent with these sections of the existing rules in Part 27, we propose that there be no additional restrictions on eligibility for a license in the 3650-3700 MHz band. This approach

In summary, under our proposal, a 4.9 GHz licensee would be authorized to provide a variety or combination of fixed, mobile (except aeronautical mobile), common carrier, and non-common carrier services. We seek comment on these proposals. 2.

When the change results in the discontinuance, reduction, or impairment of the existing service, a different approach may apply, depending on the nature of the service affected. Eligibility and Use Restrictions; Spectrum Aggregation Background. Sections 27.12 and 27.302 of the Commission's Rules impose no restrictions on eligibility, other than the foreign ownership restrictions set forth in Section 310 of the Communications Act. Our proposal to impose no additional eligibility requirements is endorsed by several parties. We also proposed to impose no restrictions on the amount of spectrum that any one licensee may obtain in the 746-764

  • Background. The NPRM sought comment on a range of issues raised in the Balanced Budget Act Notice regarding Band Manager licensing, including eligibility and use restrictions for Band Manager licenses, whether to adopt measures that might promote competition among Band Managers, and whether to adopt rules to ensure fair and nondiscriminatory access by prospective users of Band Manager Spectrum. Sections 27.12 and 27.302 of the Commission's Rules impose no restrictions on eligibility, other than the foreign ownership restrictions set forth in Section 310 of the Communications Act.
