Failure by any licensee to meet this requirement will result in forfeiture of the license and the licensee will be ineligible to regain it.

By allocating spectrum in unpaired blocks, licensees planning to offer these types of services would not be required to acquire more spectrum than they need for their operations. We also seek comment on whether we should make any changes to our bidding rules to promote bidder flexibility. 5. License Term; Renewal Expectancy Section 27.13 of the Commission's Rules provides for authorizations for license terms not to exceed 10 years from the date of original issuance or renewal. Section 27.14 of the Commission's Rules establishes a right to a renewal expectancy. We seek comment on whether to apply these license term and renewal expectancy provisions in the case of licensees in the 4.9 GHz band.

  • Term; Renewal Expectancy The Communications Act imposes no term limit on licenses issued by the Commission, other than those for broadcast services, which are limited to an eight-year license term. The statute also specifies renewal criteria for broadcast stations. Part 27 of the Commission's rules provides for license term limits and renewal expectancy for other than new broadcast-type services. Section 27.13(a) limits license terms for certain licensees to 10 years from the date of original issuance or renewal, and Section 27.14(b) establishes a right to a renewal expectancy. In the Upper 700 MHz First Report and Order, we modified the license term as it relates to the 747-762 MHz and 777-792 MHz bands, to accommodate licensees' need for additional time to

Section 27.13(b) of the Commission's rules provides that initial license authorizations for spectrum in the 700 MHz Band will extend until January 1, 2015, except that a Part 27 licensee commencing broadcast services will be required to seek renewal of its license for such services at the termination of the eight-year term following commencement of such operations.

In this Report and Order, we conform the license period in section 27.13, and construction deadlines provided in section 27.14, to the provisions of section 2(c) of the DTV Delay Act. Section 27.13 of our rules currently provides that the license period for the licenses associated with the 698-763 MHz and 776-793 MHz bands are for a term not to exceed ten years from February 17, 2009, the previous digital television transition date.

  • Term; Renewal Expectancy The Communications Act imposes no term limit on licenses issued by the Commission, other than those for broadcast services, which are limited to an eight-year license term. The statute also specifies renewal criteria for broadcast stations. Part 27 of the Commission's rules provides for license term limits and renewal expectancy for other than new broadcast-type services. Section 27.13(a) limits license terms for certain licensees to 10 years from the date of original issuance or renewal, and Section 27.14(b) establishes a right to a renewal expectancy. In the Upper 700 MHz First Report and Order, we modified the license term as it relates to the 747-762 MHz and 777-792 MHz bands, to accommodate licensees' need for additional time to

In addition, we request comment on whether the 3650-3700 MHz band should be licensed in paired spectrum blocks. Under this approach, we could pair 25 megahertz spectrum blocks into licenses of 50 megahertz. License Term; Renewal Expectancy Section 27.13 of the Commission's rules provides for authorizations for license terms not to exceed 10 years from the date of original issuance or renewal.

License Term; Renewal Expectancy Background. In the NPRM we proposed to adopt the license term and renewal provisions in Part 27 of the Commission's Rules, for other than new broadcast-type services. Section 27.13 limits the license term to 10 years from the date of original issuance or renewal. Section 27.14(c) establishes a licensee's right to a renewal expectancy. Most commenters addressing the issue endorsed this approach. However, one commenter, in addressing the issue of performance requirements, expressed concern that new licensees might not be able to comply with performance requirements in some markets,

  • of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, as well as the overall statutory scheme, support our authority to consider regulatory requests necessary to implement such voluntary agreements. In our view, both the transition to DTV and clearance of this spectrum will generally be furthered, not frustrated by such voluntary agreements. In response to NAB's first point, we note that Section 27.13(b) of our Rules, as amended, states, in pertinent part, that ``initial authorizations for the 746-764 MHz and 776-794 MHz bands will extend until January 1, 2015.'' Both the ``substantial performance'' and TV protection requirements are referenced to this date. When we established the 14-year license term in the 700 MHz First Report and Order, we noted that the 2006 DTV
