2 GHz for Use by the Mobile Satellite Service

In the Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making (Further NPRM), we propose specific details of relocation of affected Broadcast Auxiliary Service (BAS), Cable Television Relay Service (CARS), Local Television Transmission Service (LTTS), and Fixed Satellite (FS) licensees, and request comment on our proposals. We propose to channelize the new BAS band into seven channels of 15 megahertz bandwidth, with the new channelization plan to become primary on January 1, 2000, or the day after the last Fixed Service (FS) licensee in the 2110-2130 MHz band has been relocated in accordance with Sections 101.69-101.81 of the Commission's rules, whichever date is later. We further propose to allow MSS operators to negotiate with BAS licensees for relocation. The new and enhanced services and uses permitted by this action will create new jobs, foster economic growth, and improve access to communications by industry and the American public.
