   Link to an amendment published at  70 FR 19309 , Apr. 13, 2005.

   Channels in the 928-929 MHz and 952-960 MHz ranges may be assigned
   under developmental authorizations to fixed transmitters in
   point-to-multipoint systems at locations that are short-spaced (i.e.
   do not meet the 113 kilometer (70 mile) separation requirement of
   Sec. 22.625), subject to the requirements of this section.

   (a) Carrier responsibility. Applications for developmental
   authorizations pursuant to this section must contain an engineering
   analysis that shows that no interference will be caused or received.
   Carriers so authorized shall operate the short-spaced transmitter for
   a period of one year.

   (b) Exceptions. The FCC may grant a regular authorization in the
   Paging and Radiotelephone Service for a short-spaced fixed station
   under the following circumstances:

   (1) After one year of operation under developmental authorization, and
   provided that no interference has been caused. Licensees that hold a
   developmental authorization and wish to request a regular
   authorization must file an application using FCC Form 601 prior to the
   expiration of the developmental authorization.

   (2) In the case of the assignment of or a transfer of control of a
   regular authorization of a short-spaced fixed station in the Paging
   and Radiotelephone Service, the FCC may grant such assignment or
   consent to such transfer of control provided that the station has been
   in continuous operation providing service and no interference has been
   caused.
