Özet

In this document we grant in part and deny in part the petitions for reconsideration of the 18 GHz Order filed by Hughes Electronics Corporation (Hughes), the Fixed Wireless Communications Coalition (FWCC) and Winstar Communications, Inc. (Winstar). We defer for action in a future Commission order certain issues raised by Hughes relating to the band plan adopted in the 18 GHz Order and blanket licensing. We also address a number of issues raised by Teledesic Corporation (Teledesic) in its letter to the Commission and its request for judicial review of the rules adopted by the Commission in the 18 GHz Order.
