§  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 interference, or other
   practical reason, the grant of one or more other applications.

   (b) A license application for NGSO-like satellite operation, as defined
   in § 25.157(a), will be entitled to comparative consideration with one
   or more mutually exclusive applications only if the application is
   received by the Commission in a condition acceptable for filing by the
   "cut-off" date specified in a public notice.

   (c) A license application for GSO-like satellite operation, as defined
   in § 25.158(a)(1), will be entitled to comparative consideration with
   another application only if:

   (1) The application is mutually exclusive with another application for
   GSO-like operation; and

   (2) The application is received by the Commission in a condition
   acceptable for filing at the same millisecond as the other application.
