Maritime Communications/Land Mobile, LLC, Licensee of Various Authorizations in the Wireless Radio Services, Applicant for Modification of Various Authorizations in the Wireless Radio Services

This document commences a hearing proceeding to determine ultimately whether Maritime Communications/Land Mobile, LLC (Maritime) is qualified to be and to remain a Commission licensee, and as a consequence whether any or all of its licenses should be revoked, and whether any or all of the applications to which Maritime is a party should be denied. The issues designated for hearing also include whether Maritime should be ordered to repay to the U.S. Treasury the full amount of the bidding credit, plus interest, that it received as a result of claiming designated entity status; whether a forfeiture not to exceed the statutory maximum should be issued against Maritime for apparent violations of the Commission's rules; whether Maritime and its principals should henceforth be prohibited from participating in FCC auctions; and whether Maritime's licenses for its site-based AMTS stations cancelled automatically for lack of construction or permanent discontinuance of operation in violation of sections of the Commission's rules.
