§  25.155   Mutually exclusive applications.

   (a) The Commission will consider applications to be mutually exclusive
   if their conflicts are such that the grant of one application would
   effectively preclude by reason of harmful electrical interference, or
   other practical reason, the grant of one or more other applications.

   (b) An application for an NGSO-like space station license, within the
   meaning of § 25.157, will be entitled to comparative consideration with
   one or more conflicting applications only if:

   (1) The application is mutually exclusive with another NGSO-like space
   station application; and

   (2) The application is received by the Commission in a condition
   acceptable for filing by the "cut-off" date specified in a public
   notice.

   (c) An application for a GSO-like space station license, within the
   meaning of § 25.158, will be entitled to comparative consideration with
   one or more conflicting applications only if:

   (1) The application is mutually exclusive with another GSO-like space
   station application; and

   (2) The application is received by the Commission in a condition
   acceptable for filing at the same millisecond as another GSO-like space
   station application with which it is mutually exclusive.
