  • showings on a license-by-license basis ``runs counter to the service actually provided by nationwide carriers and effectively raises the bar for such carriers to make a satisfactory showing.'' We disagree with Cingular's assertion based on the plain reading of the 900 MHz MTA construction rule and on the decisions made by the Commission in the orders adopting the rule. Section 90.665(c) of the Commission's rules reads in relevant part: ``Each MTA licensee in the 896-901/935-940 MHz band must, three years from the date of license grant, construct and place into operation a sufficient number of base stations to provide coverage to at least one-third of the population of the MTA; further each MTA licensee must provide coverage to at least two-thirds

  • to the public interest, or the applicant has no reasonable alternative.'' When seeking to deviate from the general rule, an applicant faces a heavy burden. In order to obtain a waiver, an applicant must plead with particularity the facts and circumstances which warrant such action. McCart argues principally that it could not meet its construction deadline set forth in Section 90.665(c) because of ``the lack of digital technology for deployment in 900 MHz systems.'' However, we find this reason alone, and McCart's economic arguments, for that matter, are insufficient to allow McCart to hold the spectrum until equipment finally becomes available. Significantly, McCart's request is completely open-ended and provides no information as to how long it may take for equipment to
