Interactive Video and Data Service (218-219 MHz Service)

In this Notice of Proposed Rule Making (``NPRM''), the Commission examines ways to maximize the efficient and effective use of the 218-219 MHz Service (formerly, Interactive Video and Data Service (IVDS)), both on its own motion, and in response to issues raised in a Petition for Rulemaking, RM-8951. The Commission also seeks comment on whether any of the general competitive bidding rules would be inappropriate for future auctions of 218-219 MHz Service licenses. The Commission believes that these actions will result in a regulatory framework that will promote efficient use of spectrum, foster competition, and facilitate technological innovation in the 218-219 MHz band.
