Non-Voice Non-Geostationary Mobile Satellite Service

The Commission has proposed rules and policies to govern the second processing round for the non-voice, non-geostationary mobile satellite service (``NVNG MSS'') also referred to as the ``Little LEO'' service. The Commission's proposals include limiting the licensees in the second processing round to ``new entrants;'' adopting strict financial rules; adopting rules requiring licensees to time-share spectrum with existing commercial and government licensees; and seeking comment on conducting auctions if mutual exclusivity arises.
