Multiple Address Systems

On September 17, 1998, the Public Safety and Private Wireless Division adopted and released an Order dismissing all pending Multiple Address System (MAS) applications for use of the 932-932.5/941-941.5 MHz bands which were filed in anticipation of the Commission conducting a lottery to license competing applications. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 terminated the Commission's authority to use lotteries to select among competing mutually exclusive applicants for initial license or construction permits. Applicants will have the opportunity to refile applications for MAS service under new service rules that are fully compliant with the Balanced Budget Act of 1997.
