By this action, we propose to allocate the 1990-2025 MHz (Earth-to-space) and 2165-2200 MHz (space-to-Earth) bands to the mobile-satellite service (MSS). We propose to allocate these bands for both geostationary (GSO) and non-geostationary (low-Earth orbit, or "LEO") satellites, but also intend to consider whether they should be limited to exclusive GSO or LEO use to promote more efficient spectrum utilization. This action responds to petitions for rule making filed by CELSAT, Inc. (Celsat), TRW, Inc. (TRW), and Personal Communications Satellite Corporation (PCSAT). Moreover, it is consistent with recommendations we expect to make for U.S. proposals to the next World Radiocommunications Conference (WRC) on this topic. This proposed new allocation of spectrum for MSS should create opportunities to provide the public, especially rural Americans, with access to new and competitive services and technologies; stimulate economic development; and, create new high technology jobs in the United States. BACKGROUND 2. The 1992 World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC-92) allocated the 1970-1980 MHz (Earth-to-space) and 2160-2170 MHz (space-to-Earth) bands in Region 2 and the 1980-2010 MHz (Earth-to-space) and 2170-2200 MHz (space-to-Earth) bands worldwide to MSS. In the June 1994 Memorandum Opinion and Order in GEN Docket No. 90-314 (PCS Reconsideration Order), we allocated the 1850-1990 MHz band to terrestrial broadband personal communications services (PCS). We anticipate that PCS will use spectrum intensively, thereby bringing into question the feasibility of MSS. Therefore, it does not appear to be practicable to make a domestic allocation of 2 GHz spectrum for MSS that is consistent with the international allocation without jeopardizing the availability of spectrum for PCS. In the PCS Reconsideration Order, we recognized the potential value of MSS in areas that may not be readily or economically served by PCS, such as sparsely-populated rural areas. We stated that we intended to initiate a proceeding to investigate possibilities for allocating additional frequencies for MSS at 2 GHz in the near future, and that we would attempt to accommodate MSS within the remaining internationally allocated bands. We also indicated that we intended to pursue additional international allocations for MSS at the 1995 World Radiocommunications Conference (WRC-95). 3. Celsat Petition (RM-7927). In February 1992, Celsat filed a petition for rule making which, as amended, requests allocation of the 1970-1990 and 2160-2180 MHz bands for a hybrid GSO/terrestrial personal communications service. Celsat proposes an integrated GSO satellite/terrestrial cellular and micro-cellular mobile service that would use code division multiple access (CDMA) technology. It maintains that this system would have benefits and advantages in cost and overall spectrum efficiency relative to separate PCS and MSS systems. It states that its hybrid MSS service could operate in either a portable (personal) or mobile (vehicular) terrestrial mode, but is primarily a satellite service. Celsat submits that this service will provide important new features, such as position determination, transmissions with data speeds of up to 144 kilobits per second, and compressed video, in addition to conventional mobile voice and messaging. It further states that because its system will cover only the United States it will be relatively simple to coordinate with other nations. Celsat contends that its proposed service would allow direct access to satellite communications through personal handsets. It requests that we allocate the 1970-1990 MHz band for MSS on a co-primary basis with the existing PCS allocation in that band to allow PCS handsets to access its proposed MSS facilities. Celsat maintains that it will be able to share spectrum with terrestrial PCS without interference. It also proposes that we require that CDMA be used as the access method for MSS in the 2 GHz bands. Celsat maintains that CDMA is particularly spectrum efficient where multiple entrants are contemplated, because it allows all spectrum sharers equal access to the full band allocation, whereas frequency division multiple access requires each entrant to use a distinct and separate frequency assignment. 4. TRW Petition. In December 1993, TRW filed a petition for rule making requesting that we allocate spectrum in the 1970-2010 MHz and 2160-2200 MHz bands for provision of international MSS by satellites in non-geostationary orbits. TRW argues that these bands represent the only frequencies suitable for global MSS voice-grade service via hand-held transceivers that are both allocated internationally for MSS and not applied for in the United States. TRW asserts that there is a vast untapped market for services provided by global MSS systems, and that the allocation it proposes will help ensure the preeminence of the United States satellite industry. TRW proposes a twelve satellite constellation that would provide virtually global coverage. TRW's system would provide communications links between fixed users and mobile users and feature inexpensive, hand-held mobile units. 5. Personal Communications Satellite Corporation Petition. In April 1994, PCSAT, a subsidiary of AMSC Subsidiary Corporation, filed a petition for rule making to allocate the 1970-1990 MHz and 2160-2180 MHz bands for a GSO satellite service. PCSAT proposes to build and operate a GSO system compatible with PCS that would provide service to several classes of customers and users in the United States. PCSAT observes that over the last ten years there has been a tremendous growth in the availability and use of wireless services for mobile voice and data communications, but that such services are not available everywhere. It submits that satellite MSS can provide coverage between islands of terrestrially-based services, such as in rural and remote areas; and can provide a nationwide communications system for law enforcement, public safety, and interstate transportation. PCSAT proposes two satellites that would provide coverage to the United States and coastal waters up to 200 miles offshore, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. 6. Several of the commenters to the Commission's Notice of Inquiry on preparations for WRC-95 addressed the 2 GHz MSS allocations from the perspective of the international table of frequency allocations. They noted the desirability of finding international allocations that can be implemented in the U.S. DISCUSSION 7. We continue to believe that a need exists for allocating a substantial amount of spectrum for MSS. There is significant consumer demand for convenient mobile services such as telephone, high-rate data and fax, and video. MSS can provide such communications in remote or rural areas not covered by terrestrially based mobile services, and can provide nationwide public safety coverage. As discussed by petitioners, MSS could satisfy important requirements that cannot be economically satisfied by other means. Further, we believe that use of 2 GHz frequencies can help minimize transmission costs and ensure a relatively low cost service that will be within the economic reach of a large segment of the population. Thus, the proposed allocation of 70 MHz of spectrum to MSS should give the public, especially rural Americans, access to new and competitive services and technologies. In the process of bringing such new uses of the spectrum to market, our proposal will also stimulate economic development and the creation of new jobs in the United States. 8. We believe that any 2 GHz MSS allocation should be as consistent as possible with the WARC-92 worldwide MSS allocation. This will help ensure a truly universal service. We therefore believe that incorporating use of the 1990-2010 MHz and 2170-2200 MHz bands allocated for MSS by WARC-92 is desirable. However, we believe that to provide sufficient capacity in the 2 GHz range to satisfy all MSS demand will require additional spectrum. We note that the only petitioner to propose global MSS coverage at 2 GHz -- TRW -- requests 80 megahertz. Balancing this request against other important demands for 2 GHz spectrum, we propose to allocate 70 megahertz for MSS. In order to provide sufficient spectrum in the lower band without impinging on the 1850-1990 MHz PCS allocation, we propose to allocate 1990-2025 MHz for the Earth-to-space link. In the upper band, we propose to allocate 2165-2200 MHz for the space-to-Earth link. 9. 1990-2025 MHz Band. The 1990-2025 MHz band is part of the 1990-2110 MHz band that is currently allocated for and used heavily by the broadcast auxiliary services (BAS). The BAS at 1990-2110 MHz is divided into seven channels that are used for the transmission of television signals from fixed and mobile locations. Applications include electronic news gathering (ENG) mobile units, which transmit television signals to studios; studio-transmitter links, which carry television signals from studios to broadcast antennas; and relay stations, which re-transmit television signals. ENG applications are the predominant use of the 1990-2110 MHz band. We have studied the feasibility of sharing between MSS and BAS at 1990-2025 MHz and have concluded that such sharing is not feasible because of the potential for interference between the two services. Therefore, if we ultimately decide to adopt the proposal advanced herein, it will be necessary to relocate BAS incumbents that use this spectrum. To accommodate these incumbents, we propose to add 35 megahertz of spectrum to the upper end of the BAS band at 2110-2145 MHz, thus providing the BAS service with the same amount of spectrum it currently has. 10. We believe that relocating BAS incumbents at 1990-2025 MHz to 2110-2145 MHz would involve minimal engineering changes to BAS systems because of the proximity of this band to the existing BAS allocation. However, we request comment on this assessment and on the cost of relocation. We propose to require MSS providers to bear the costs associated with relocating the existing BAS operations to the 2110-2145 MHz band. The 2110-2130 MHz portion of the band, however, is currently used by common carrier fixed microwave services, and the 2130-2145 MHz portion is currently used by private fixed microwave services. If sharing between BAS and fixed microwave services in the 2110-2145 MHz band is not workable, which we believe to be the case due to the mobile nature of ENG operations, BAS could use this band only if the fixed microwave services were relocated to another band by MSS providers. 11. We have already provided for reaccommodation of 2 GHz fixed microwave incumbents. Specifically, in our emerging technologies proceeding, we made five higher bands available for use by private and common carrier incumbents now operating at 1850- 1990 MHz, 2110-2150 MHz and 2160-2200 MHz. We also decided that the emerging technology service provider must guarantee payment of all relocation expenses, build the new microwave facilities at the relocation frequencies, and demonstrate that the new facilities are comparable to the relocated facilities. We propose to apply our involuntary relocation policy to the additional spectrum addressed in this proceeding (1990-2025 MHz and 2165-2200 MHz). Our policy ensures that all incumbent entities required to relocate their operations would receive equivalent or better facilities at no cost to them. Specifically, we propose that the involuntary relocation provides that:  All relocation expenses would be paid entirely by the displacing MSS provider. These expenses would include all engineering, equipment, and site costs and FCC fees, as well as any reasonable additional costs.  Relocation facilities would be fully comparable to those being replaced.  All activities necessary for placing the new facilities into operation, including engineering and frequency coordination, would be completed before relocation.  The new communications system would be fully built and tested before the relocation could commence.  Should the new facilities, within one year, prove not to be equivalent in every respect to the relocated facilities, the displacing MSS provider would pay to move the relocated operation to its original facilities until complete equivalency is attained. 12. We believe that the cost of relocating fixed microwave incumbents at 2110-2145 MHz should be borne by MSS providers. While it might appear costly to require MSS users of the 1990-2025 MHz band to pay for relocating these incumbents in addition to relocating BAS users, the costs of relocating them would be significantly mitigated by the fact that most of the microwave links at 2110-2145 MHz form one-half of a duplex system, with the paired links operating at 2160-2195 MHz. Because we are also proposing to allocate the 2165-2200 MHz band for MSS, MSS providers would be relocating duplex systems from 2115-2150 MHz when they relocate the corresponding paired links at 2165-2200 MHz, thereby largely clearing the 2115-2145 MHz band. Thus, MSS providers would be likely to largely clear fixed microwave incumbents at 2110-2145 MHz irrespective of whether that band is allocated for BAS. 13. We seek comment on our proposals for relocating BAS and fixed microwave incumbents, as well as comment on our tentative conclusions that sharing between MSS and BAS at 1990-2025 MHz or BAS and fixed microwave services at 2110-2145 MHz is not feasible. We also seek comment on any other BAS reaccommodation options, as well as the cost of the respective options. For example, one possibility would be to not provide additional spectrum to BAS, but to require incumbents to adopt more spectrally efficient technology to use the remaining 85 megahertz at 2025-2110 MHz. Alternatively, perhaps BAS operations could be moved over time to a higher frequency band where more spectrally efficient technology could be employed. 14. 2165-2200 MHz Band. The 2165-2200 MHz band, like the 2110-2145 MHz band, is currently used by common carrier and private fixed microwave services, but has been reserved for services that use emerging technologies. Accordingly, the band is available for MSS; however, as discussed in paragraph 10, supra, MSS providers would have to bear the costs of relocating the fixed microwave incumbents in the band. 15. We seek comment on whether 70 megahertz of spectrum is the appropriate amount to reallocate to 2 GHz MSS. One alternative would be to reallocate only the 40 megahertz at 1990-2010 MHz and 2180-2200 MHz that was allocated worldwide at WARC-92 and that remains available for paired use after our PCS allocation, and to defer action on additional spectrum until WRC-95 concludes its deliberations on the appropriate 2 GHz MSS allocation. This approach would have the advantage of comporting with the existing international allocation for worldwide MSS, but might not provide sufficient spectrum to satisfy demand for 2 GHz MSS. Further, while it would use only 20 megahertz of BAS spectrum, it would still impact users on the first two BAS channels and thus create the identical impact on BAS incumbents as our proposal. A second alternative would be to allocate 60 megahertz at 1990-2020 MHz and 2170-2200 MHz. This alternative would be a compromise between our proposal and the first alternative. The second alternative would also impact users on the first two BAS channels, but would be more likely to satisfy 2 GHz MSS demand than the first alternative. However, it might still fall short of satisfying 2 GHz MSS demand, and like our proposal, would be inconsistent with the international MSS allocation in a portion of the lower band. We seek comment on these alternatives. 16. We also seek comment on any other sharing or technical matters that may be pertinent to this proposal. Specifically, we request comment on whether the proposed new MSS bands should be limited to either exclusive GSO or LEO use; on whether minimum geographic coverage requirements or a particular access method, such as CDMA, should be mandated for all MSS licensees; on what power limits should be imposed; on Celsat's proposal to share spectrum with PCS at 1970-1990 MHz in order to provide a hybrid PCS/MSS system; and on whether there is a need to allocate spectrum for feeder links to support 2 GHz MSS. Commenters should specifically discuss the merits and drawbacks of our proposal and any alternatives. 17. Finally, while we are generally deferring consideration of MSS service rules and licensing issues, we wish to give advance notice that we propose to award MSS licenses at 2 GHz by competitive bidding. Section 309(j)(1) and (2) of the Communications Act, as amended, authorizes the Commission to conduct auctions where mutually exclusive applications for initial licenses or construction permits are accepted for filing and where the principal use of the spectrum is reasonably likely to involve compensation from subscribers to the service. While we will, to the extent possible, employ engineering solutions to ensure maximum access to this spectrum, we may have to limit available licenses. We believe that of the options for awarding MSS licenses, competitive bidding best serves the public interest by ensuring that the licenses are awarded to the entities that value them the most highly. We have previously found that we have the authority to award MSS licenses using competitive bidding. Under our proposal, the allocations at 2 GHz would be segmented on a national basis and qualified applicants would be required to apply for a separate license for each segment that they want to use. We specifically propose simultaneous multiple round bidding. Simultaneous multiple round bidding is most likely to generate the most information about license values during the course of the auction and provide bidders with the most flexibility to pursue alternate strategies, and therefore award licensed to those bidders who value them most highly. We seek comment as to whether our proposals for competitive bidding for MSS licenses in the proposed bands are appropriate for awarding licenses. PROCEDURAL MATTERS 18. Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis. Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, the Commission finds as follows: A. Reason for Action: This action is being initiated to allocate spectrum for use by the mobile-satellite service at 2 GHz. We believe that this service can satisfy low-cost voice and data requirements that may not be satisfied by other services. B. Objective: The objective of this proposal is to provide spectrum for meeting the public's requirements for low-cost MSS voice and data transmission services. We also intend to protect incumbent 2 GHz users. Further, providing for the development of 2 GHz satellite technology in the United States should promote the provision of 2 GHz satellite services by U.S. firms. C. Legal Basis: The proposed action is authorized by Sections 4(i), 303(c), 303(f), 303(g), 303(r) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. Section 154(i), 303(c), 303(f), 303(g), and 303(r). These provisions authorize the Commission to make such rules and regulations as may be necessary to encourage more effective use of radio as is in the public interest. D. Description, Potential Impact, and Number of Small Entities Affected: This proposal is expected to provide new marketing opportunities for radio manufacturers, some of which may be small businesses. Because this proposal concerns only the allocation of spectrum, and not the licensing of systems or stations, we are unable to quantify other potential effects on small entities. We invite specific comments on this point by interested parties. E. Reporting, Record Keeping, and other Compliance Requirements: None. F. Federal Rules That Overlap, Duplicate, or Conflict with this Rule: None. G. Significant Alternatives: We have herein discussed several alternatives and invited comment on these alternatives. 19. Paperwork Reduction Act. The proposal contained herein has been analyzed with respect to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 and found to contain no new or modified form, information collection and/or record keeping, labeling, disclosure, or record retention requirements, and will not increase or decrease burden hours imposed on the public. 20. Ex Parte Presentations and Comments. The rule making proposals in this Notice constitute a non-restricted notice and comment rule making proceeding. Ex parte presentations are permitted, except during the Sunshine Agenda period, provided they are disclosed as provided in Commission rules. See generally 47C.F.R.  1.1202, 1.1203, and 1.1206(a). 21.
