Finally, AAR requests that the Commission waive section 90.709(c), which subjects an assignee of a Phase I nationwide 220 MHz license to the four construction benchmarks set forth in section 90.725 of the Commission's rules. Instead, AAR requests that it be regulated pursuant to the criterion in the 800 MHz band pursuant to Section 90.685(b), which requires a substantial service standard for measuring the use of spectrum, including ``service which is sound, favorable, and substantially above a level of mediocre.''

For the reasons stated below, the Petition is denied. Under Sections 90.685(b) and 90.685(c) of the Commission's rules then in effect during the period of time Cellutech held the subject license, Cellutech was required to (1) operate facilities to cover one-third of the EA's population and (2) construct at least fifty percent of the total channels in at least one location of the EA within three years of initial license grant.

As an initial matter, nothing in the Rebanding Orders would preclude Preferred from deploying a low site and low power cellular architecture system to offer commercial push-to-talk and cellular voice service on a competitive basis with Sprint Nextel. Moreover, although Preferred cites Section 90.685(b) of the Commission's rules as depriving EA licensees of rights ``previously granted them under the rules for their licenses in effect at the time that Preferred bid in the Commission's auction for the EA licenses,'' the rule in question neither increases nor diminishes any of Preferred's rights.
