  • would conflict with any other decisions the Commission has made concerning the differences between common carriers and non-common carriers. We seek comment on this proposal and any alternatives thereto. 2. Shared bands . Several frequency bands are used for TV Broadcast Auxiliary Services, Cable Relay Service (CARS), Private Land Mobile Radio Service, and Fixed Microwave Services. For example, Sections 74.644, 78.108, 101.143, and 101.803(b) set out minimum path lengths and appropriate power reductions for many of the same bands. However, Section 101.803(b), which regulates LTTS, requires compliance with the technical rules provided in Parts 74 and 78 of our Rules, which are different from those contained in the Part 101 rules. In addition, we understand that some confusion exists concerning which

  • for short path lengths. In addition, adopting the same equation for fixed operations in each of these rule parts would treat similar stations in a comparable manner, simplify station coordination in shared frequency bands, and reduce instances of harmful interference among stations authorized under different rule parts. Accordingly, we propose to modify our rules to implement in Sections 74.644 and 78.108 the same equation codified at Section 101.143 for determining the maximum EIRP for path lengths shorter than the specified minimum. We seek comment on this proposal. We note that Section 74.644 of the Commission's rules does not specify a minimum path length for fixed BAS links in the 2450-2483.5 MHz band. However, Part 101 does specify a minimum path length

  • more than an unnecessary administrative burden. We agree that such an additional requirement, applicable only to NMVPDs, would be purely discriminatory as others who are similarly situated, such as wireless cable systems, need not make such a showing. CARS stations must operate with reduced power if their path length is less than the minimum path lengths currently prescribed in Section 78.108 of the Commission's Rules. The existing minimum path length restrictions are rigorously applied. Because all CARS stations must use less power for shorter paths and because 18 GHz equipment costs less, NMVPDs would have a strong economic incentive to use 18 GHz rather than 12 GHz for shorter paths. Thus, we do not believe additional regulatory restrictions or requirements are

  • computed using the current equation in Section 74.644. The Commission further noted that the same equation as currently used for the BAS is also used for CARS. The Commission stated that it believed that the CARS would also benefit from modifying the equation for determining maximum power for short path lengths. Accordingly, the Commission proposed to modify Sections 74.644 and 78.108 to implement the same equation codified at Section 101.143 for determining the maximum EIRP for path lengths shorter than the specified minimum. The Commission noted that BAS rules do not currently specify a minimum path length in the 2450-2483.5 MHz band, but FS rules do so for FS operations. The Commission therefore also proposed to adopt a minimum path length,
