Installment Payment Financing for Personal Communications Services (PCS) Licensees

In this Second Report and Order the Commission orders resumption of installment payments for the broadband Personal Communications Services (PCS) C and F blocks, with the payment deadline reinstated as of March 31, 1998. The Commission adopts disaggregation, amnesty, and prepayment options designed to assist C block licensees experiencing financial difficulties. These options will allow C block licensees to build systems or surrender spectrum to the Commission for reauction. The Commission's objectives in this proceeding are to ensure that the C block licensees have opportunities to provide service to the public while maintaining the fairness and integrity of the Commission's auctions program.
