The Common Entities claim that if PSI succeeds, all future auctions will be susceptible to attack by any entity that is unhappy with the results of the auction. Further, the Common Entities claim that after committing to the Great Lakes B-block license, PSI lacked bidding eligibility to bid on any more licenses and thus lacks standing

  • and dismiss it as moot with respect to the Southbury, Redding, Monroe, and Bridgeport sites. Background. AMTS stations provide automated, interconnected ship-to-shore communications similar to a cellular phone system for tugs, barges, and other maritime vessels, and also may provide service to units on land. In 2002, the Commission adopted a geographic area licensing approach for AMTS stations. Under Section 80.385(b)(1) of the Commission's Rules, a geographic licensee that locates facilities within 120 kilometers of a co-channel site-based incumbent must provide at least 18 dB protection to the site-based licensee's 38 dBu signal level contour. Site-based licensees may operate fill-in transmitters without separate authorization, provided that the fill-in site's predicted interference contour is fully encompassed by the composite interference contour of

  • Concerning Maritime Communications, PR Docket No. 92-257, Second Report and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 12 FCC Rcd 16949, 69 (1997). The rules for operation on land are codified at 47 C.F.R. § 80.123. Although AMTS also has an allocation in the 216-217 MHz band, these frequencies are not authorized for assignment. See 47 C.F.R. § 80.385. This policy was implemented to protect television reception on channel 13, which operates in the 210-216 MHz band. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 2.106, footnote US274 and 90.259. See 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, footnote US210. See 47 C.F.R. § 95.1009. See discussion of relocation of Government operations infra.

  • The 218-219 MHz sub-band is allocated on a primary basis to the 218-219 MHz Service (formerly the Interactive Video and Data Services (IVDS)).49 The 219- 220 MHz sub-band is allocated to the amateur service on a secondary basis.50 42 AMTS is an integrated and interconnected maritime communications system, which can provide radiotelephony, facsimile and teleprinter services. See 47 C.F.R. § 80.385. 43 Footnote US229 states that "assignments to stations in the fixed and mobile services may be made on the condition that no harmful interference is caused to the Navy SPASUR system currently operating in the southern United States in the frequency band 216.88-217.08 MHz."
