                                           Summa

               STARSYS has petitioned to deny each of the second round NVNG MSS

applications based on their individual frequency conflicts with STARSYS‘s proposed first—

 round system and their aggregate impact on the frequency sharing environment that will be

established by the first round systems. Because the Commission‘s Rules require new system

applicants to protect all prior NVNG MSS systems from harmful interference, second round

applicants will be unable to demonstrate that they will comply with Section 25.142(a)(1) of

the Commission‘s rules until all first round applications have been processed. Once the first

round is complete, each new applicant will bear the burden of demonstrating that its

operation will not cause harmful interference to those systems previously licensed.

               Some second—round applicants have asserted that STARSYS is not entitled to

the protection of Section 25.142(a)(1) because its first—round application remains pending.

In so doing, they are attempting to take unreasonable advantage of the fact that the

Commission accorded them a break by taking the unusual step of accepting their applications

before all first—round applications were processed. Each second—round applicant —— including

Orbcomm and VITA —— must nonetheless satisfy Section 25.142(a)(1) with respect to

STARSYS once STARSYS is licensed.

              It should be noted that one principal cause of the current spectrum constraint

in the 137—138 MHz band that will make the second round applicant‘s showings more

difficult is the substantial change in the character of Orbcomm‘s use of this band since the

first—round applicants entered into their Joint Sharing Agreement. The expanded Orbcomm

system has already absorbed much of the initially anticipated sharing margin in the 137—138


MHz band,- without even taking into account Orbcomm‘s most recent modification request of

November 16, 1994.

               Thus far, only two applicants (GE and E—Sat) have taken up the challenge of

demonstrating compatibility with STARSYS. On the other hand, Final Analysis has simply

attempted to invoke "cross polarization," as if this technique by itself would necessarily

avoid harmful interference. In fact, Final Analysis must demonstrate that cross polarization

is an effective means of avoiding interference taking into account its specific system

characteristics. Similarly, CTA‘s broad assertion that its recently filed "Erratum and/or

Amendment" rfloots all of the issues STARSYS raised concerning CTA‘s interference

potential is fundamentally inaccurate; significant interference concerns remain.

              Finally, VITA‘s continued assertion that its recently filed second—round

application should be considered a "minor amendment" to its first—round application is an

obvious attempt to abuse the Commission‘s processes. Now, VITA has gone one step

further by filing another major amendment to this application that makes additional wholesale

changes to its proposal, including a nearly 45% increase in the satellite output power and

substantial alterations in the proposed channelization schemes both in the lower portion of the

148.0—149.9 MHz band and in the 137—138 MHz band. These major changes to the VITA

system violate both the Joint Sharing Agreement among the first round applicants and the

Commission‘s rules. VITA should be considered to have effectively removed itself from

consideration in either the first or the second processing round for the NVNG MSS service,

and its application should be dismissed accordingly.

                   RESPONSE OF STARSYS GLOBAL POSITIONING, INC.

                       STARSYS Global Positioning, Inc. ("STARSYS"), by counsel, hereby

responds to various oppositions and comments concerning STARSYS‘s Consolidated

Petition to Deny the above—captioned applications for authority to construct non—voice,

non—geostationary mobile—satellite service ("NVNG MSS") systems. The thrust of

STARSYS‘s Petition is that, because the Commussion‘s Rules require new system

applicants to protect all existing NVNG MSS systems from harmful interference,

second round applicants will be unable to demonstrate that they will comply with this

40165.1/042595/16:36


rule until processing of all first round applications is complete. Because all of the

second round applications are unavoidably deficient in this regard, STARSYS was

compelled to petition to deny each application, based upon both their individual

frequency conflicts with STARSYS‘s proposed first—round NVNG MSS system and

their aggregate impact on the frequency sharing environment that will be established

by the first round systems.


          1.           Each Second Round Applicant Must Demonstrate That It Will Not
                       Interfere With Any Of The Systems Licensed In The Initial NVNG
                       MSS Processing Round.

                       The responses of the various second round applicants to STARSYS‘s

Petition reflect some confusion concerning the applicants‘ status as second round

applicants, and the responsibilities that status entails. Three applicants mistakenly

maintain that they need not demonstrate that their proposed systems will avoid

interference to STARSYS because STARSYS remains an applicant for an NVNG MSS

license, and therefore is not a "previously authorized system" under Section 25.142(a)

of the Commission‘s rules.‘ The fact is, however, that the disposition of

STARSYS‘s application is a necessary condition precedent to the consideration of any

of the second round applications. Moreover, the technical specifications for the

authority that STARSYS has requested had been on file with the Commussion for more

than six months at the time most of the second round applications were filed. Given




V          See Final Analysis‘ Consolidated Opposition at 5 n.5; LEO One Consolidated
           Opposition at 7; E—Sat Consolidated Reply at 14.

these known facts, the new applicants would have been well—advised to premise their

applications on a showing of compatibility with the STARSYS system.

                       To the extent that several second—round applicants point to the pendency

of STARSYS‘s first—round application as support for their view that Section

25.142(a)(1) does not apply,*" they are taking improper advantage of the fact that the

Commission has already given them a break by taking the unusual step of accepting

their applications before all three first round applications were fully resolved.*‘

While such an acceleration makes reasonable sense as part of the Commission‘s effort

to secure additional spectrum for world—wide NVNG MSS use at WRC—95, it cannot

give these applicants an unearned and unprecedented procedural edge in the domestic

process. Each second—round applicant —— including Orbcomm and VITA —— must

satisfy Section 25.142(a)(1) with respect to STARSYS once STARSYS is licensed.

                       In making the showing required by Section 25.142(a)(1), the burden is

squarely upon each new applicant to demonstrate that its particular system design will

not cause harmful interference to those systems previously licensed. Specific

techniques used by first round applicants may prove successful in avoiding

interference, but they may not simply be invoked as if they were talismans of non—

interference. Rather, each applicant will need to show that use of a specific means of




2¥        See Footnote 1; 47 C.F.R. § 25.142(a)(1) (1994).

          Opposition at 4.

40165.1/042595/16:36


sharing is compatible with its particular system design, and will be sufficient to protect

first—round licensees.

                       Thus, for example, the flaw in Final Analysis‘ proposal to use cross—

polarization in its system is not that "STARSYS did not specifically consent to allow

it" (see Final Analysis Consolidated Opposition at 6), but that Final Analysis did not

specifically show how it would work based upon its system‘s particular characteristics,

including its satellite output power, the proximity of its downlink channels to the

STARSYS center frequency at 137.5 MHz, and the number of channels it will use

simultaneously.4‘ Indeed, Final Analysis appears to concede that its proposed

NVNG MSS system, as currently designed, would cause unacceptable interference to

STARSYS —— and therefore violate Section 25.142(a)(1). Specifically, Final Analysis

claims that its recently—filed amendment has the effect of "greatly decreasing the

potential for harmful interference" in the 137—138 MHz band (see Final Analysis

Consolidated Opposition at 7), thereby admitting both that the original design would

have had "great" potential for interference, and that the amendment has merely

"decreased," but not eliminated, the harmful interference Final Analysis proposed

system would cause.=‘


4/        When Orbcomm first increased its channel usage in the 137—138 MHz band, it took
          two complementary steps in order to mitigate interference to STARSYS. First, it
          agreed not to operate on a co—polarized basis in the main beam of STARSYS ground
          station antenna. Second, it moved its channels to the edges of the band in order to
          minimize interference to the STARSYS spread spectrum signal.

3         In this regard, STARSYS notes that it filed comments on Final Analysis‘s February
          24, 1995 Amendment on April 5, 1995. In those Comments, STARSYS called for
                                                                                  {continued...)

40165.1/042595/16:36


                       One principal cause of the current spectrum constraint in the 137—

 138 MHz band (and a cause that requires modification of the initial conclusion that the

first—round applicants‘ sharing plan leaves room for future entry by multiple systems)

is the substantial alteration in the character of Orbcomm‘s use of this band as a result

of its December 1993 amendment —— i.e., the amendment Orbcomm filed after the

first—round applicants had entered into their Joint Sharing Agreement and the

Negotiated Rulemaking had been completed. Although STARSYS and Orbcomm were

able, with the Commussion‘s participation, to reach an accommodation about the

impact of Orbcomm‘s December 1993 changes on the STARSYS system, the fact

remains that the expanded Orbcomm system did absorb much of the "margin" in the

137—138 MHz band that, under the Joint Sharing Agreement, would have permitted

other systems meaningful access to this spectrum. In effect, viewed from the

perspective of the originally negotiated sharing agreement, Orbcomm‘s spectrum

usage, even without regard to its second—round application, currently makes it the

equivalent of two NVNG MSS systems in this band." To the extent that there now


*"(...continued)
        the rejection of Final Analysis‘s application, as amended, because, inter alia, Final
          Analysis‘s revised downlink channel plan for the 137—138 MHz band would cause
          increased interference to STARSYS by virtue of the fact that its channels are now
          creeping closer to the sensitive center frequency of 137.5 MHz. STARSYS
          Comments on Final Analysis Amendment at 2.

&          For this reason, Orbcomm‘s facially inaccurate assertion that STARSYS will not be
           able to share with "even one additional spread spectrum NVNG satellite system" is
           particularly gratuitous. Orbcomm Consolidated Response at 11 n.24. Orbcomm
           dredges up STARSYS‘s 1991 assessment that up to seven spread spectrum systems
           could have co—existed in the NVNG spectrum. In so doing, Orbcomm ignores the
                                                                               (continued...)
40165.1/042595716:52


is dramatically less NVNG MSS spectrum available for usage by future systems —— as

compared with the amount that should have been available under the Joint Sharing

Agreement —— the discrepancy can be traced solely to the increased usage generated by

Orbcomm‘s December 1993 amendment."‘

                       In any event, Orbcomm‘s proposed modification of license must be

rejected as inconsistent with both the Joint Sharing Agreement and the provisions of

Rule 25.142(a) because it fails to protect STARSYS from harmful interference.

Orbcomm‘s conclusory and unsubstantiated contention that it has "explained why it

concluded there would be minimal impact on STARSYS" resulting from the

modification is a wholly insufficient response. See Orbcomm Consolidated Response

at 11—12. What is required under the Commussion‘s rules is a full demonstration that

earlier—filed systems will not suffer harmful interference. Thus far, Orbcomm has

failed to provide such a showing, and the burden remains upon it to do so.

                       Similarly inadequate is CTA‘s Opposition, which is devoid of any

meaningful response to the technical deficiencies identified by STARSYS. Instead of


&(...continued)
       following facts: in 1991, STARSYS was proceeding upon the assumption that there
       would be only spread spectrum CDMA systems in the 148—149.9 MHz and 137—138
       MHz bands (1.e., band segmentation between FDMA and CDMA systems was not yet
       an option); and the STARSYS assessment was a best—case scenario that did not
           consider the constraints that have had to be accepted to accommodate existing
           government users of the bands. In other words, Orbcomrm‘s attack on CDMA
           techniques and systems is not only gratuitously pejorative, it is far too stale to be of
           any probative value. The assumptions then relied upon were long ago overtaken by
           events.

L         In its own second—round application, Orbcomm attempts to usurp nearly all of the
          remaining capacity at 137—138 MHz.
40165.1/042595/16:36


attempting to respond, CTA has characterized all challenges to its technical proposal

as centering on "certain minor typographical and clerical errors" and claimed that its

 "Erratum and/or Amendment," filed one month ago, "effectively moots the comments

of the other parties." CTA Consolidated Opposition at 16. This characterization is

absolutely false.

                       CTA‘s frequency plan is fundamentally flawed because it would cause

substantial interference to STARSYS‘s, as detailed in STARSYS‘s initial Petition.

Specifically, the following discrepancies remain in CTA‘s application:

                             Table I.A—3, as revised, continues to indicate nine channels in the .
                             137—138 MHz band. More significantly, the table still indicates
                             that CTA intends to operate downlink channels using both left—
                             and right—hand circular polarization, despite the fact that such co—
                             polarized operation would cause harmful interference to
                             STARSYS.

                             Table I.B—3, as revised, reflects a reduction in power, but the
                             maximum power flux density has been incorrectly computed. The
                             correct maximum pfd value at nadir exceeds the limit of —125 dB
                             (W/m*/4 kHz) applicable to these bands.

                             Table H.A—2, as revised, appropriately deletes the CTA channel in
                             the 137—138 MHz band that was directly over the STARSYS
                             center frequency, but retains the channel at 137.0125 MHz that is
                             in direct conflict with the STARSYS telemetry channel.

                             CTA continues to propose FDMA operation in the 148—
                             148.905 MHz spread spectrum band, which would cause harmful
                             interference to STARSYS.

                             CTA continues to propose operation in the 150—150.05 MHz band,
                             directly on top of STARSYS‘s critical feeder uplink channel.

There is no question that these multiple, fundamental conflicts with STARSYS remain

unresolved and are more than mere "typographical" or "clerical" errors.


40165.1/042595/16:36


                       On the other hand, two of the second round applicants, E—Sat and GE

Americom have largely resolved the problems raised by STARSYS concerning their

applications; although some concerns remain.*‘ For example, E—Sat appears to

acknowledge that it will need to modify its application to effect compliance with

Footnote US323. In addition, E—Sat has agreed to decrease its transmission power

level in the downlink band in order to achieve compatibility with STARSYS and

permit the two systems to share the 137—138 MHz band. See E—Sat Consolidated

Reply at 13. It is noted, nonetheless, that E—Sat will still need to employ a filter at the

satellite in order to avoid retransmitting non—system signals to the ground at a level

higher than the intra—system transmissions.

                       Each of the applicants that has failed even to attempt a proper

demonstration that it will protect STARSYS appears simply to be relying on the fact

that there is no certainty that the remaining applicants in the first round will receive

licenses. This merely illustrates the fact that no further action can be taken with

respect to any of the second round applications until the initial processing round is

completed and the baseline sharing environment established by the Joint Sharing

Agreement is confirmed. Once this occurs, each new applicant will bear the burden

of demonstrating that its operation will not cause harmful interference to the existing



8         The chief concern with respect to GE Americom is its alternative proposal to use
          unspecified downlink frequencies in the 400.15—401.0 MHz band (instead of at 137—
          138 MHz). See GE Americom Opposition at 8. Because STARSYS will use 50 kHz
          of this spectrum (400.595—400.645 MHz) for satellite—to—terminal downlinks, its
          concern would be that GE Americom‘s use of this spectrum avoid any interference to
          that channel.

licensees. Because the Commission‘s rules preclude grant of any additional

applications until these showings have been made, the calls of some applicants for

"prompt" or near—term grant of their applications are misplaced, and cannot be

considered.*


          II.          VITA‘s Application Should Be Dismissed.

                       VITA‘s Opposition to the petitions lodged against its application was

filed simultaneously with an additional amendment to the underlying application which

makes wholesale changes to its proposal, including a nearly 45% increase in the

satellite output power and major alterations in the proposed channelization scheme in

the lower portion of the 148.0—149.9 MHz band and in the 137—138 MHz band.

These substantial changes to its system violate both the Joint Sharing Agreement

among the first round applicants, and the Commission‘s rules. 5 With this

additional major amendment to its application, VITA should be considered to have

effectively removed itself from consideration in either the first or the second



3/        See Leo One Consolidated Opposition at 1 & 7: GE Americom Opposition at 1 &
           13. Compare E—Sat Consolidated Reply at 3 ("E—Sat respectfully suggests that the
           Commission defer further action on the second processing round until the conclusion
           of WRC—95").

19        Because it remains as difficult as ever to hit a moving target, STARSYS will not
           attempt to catalog at this time the many revisions that VITA seeks to make. There is
           no question, however, that the modifications VITA seeks would result in harmful
           interference to STARSYS. The amendment contemplates major changes in frequency
          use in the 137—138 MHz band and in the 148.0—148.905 MHz portion of the uplink
          band. For example, the satellite output power in the 137—138 MHz band would cause
          a 2.2 dB degradation to the STARSYS link budget, effectively shutting STARSYS
           down for the duration of every VITA satellite pass.

processing round for this service._‘ Suffice it to say that VITA‘s attempt to have

its second—round filing treated as a minor, first—round amendment is patently absurd.

                       From the initiation of the second processing round, VITA has taken

fundamentally inconsistent positions concerning the treatment of its "amended

application." First, VITA maintains that its amendment, filed November 16, 1994,

should be treated as if it were part of the first processing round —— with priority over

the second round applicants. See Consolidated Opposition at 7. At the same time,

however, VITA contradictorily asserts that it is not bound by the Joint Sharing

Agreement among the first round applicants, and should be treated as a later entrant in_

relation to Orbcomm and STARSYS. See Consolidated Opposition at 8. The                             |

Commussion should not tolerate this sort of slippery effort to manipulate its processes.

                       Contrary to VITA‘s assertions, the current changes to its proposal are in

no way "necessitated by changes in Orbcomm and STARSY®S‘s band plans, and by

operating conditions imposed by NTIA in December, 1994." VITA Consolidated

Opposition at 5. Neither STARSYS nor Orbcomm made frequency use changes in

April 1994 that impacted VITA, and VITA‘s current plan does not appear to avoid

interference to fixed and mobile users in the 148—149.9 MHz band, as required by the

11        STARSYS does not revisit in this pleading each and every issue concerning VITA‘s
          attempts to manipulate the Commission‘s application process, which have been
          appropriately raised by other applicants here. STARSYS has already briefed these
          matters in prior pleadings. See, e.g., STARSYS‘s Opposition to VITA Amendment,
          File Nos. 33—DSS—AMEND—94 and CSS—91—007(3) at 2—13 (filed June 20, 1994).
          STARSYS‘s silence here should not be construed as an abandonment of these other
          valid arguments for dismissal of VITA‘s first—round application.

NTIA agreement. See STARSYS Consolidated Petition at 23—24.2‘ Instead, there

can be little doubt that VITA‘s frequent system changes are necessitated by the desire

to convert it substantially to commercial use.43

                       VITA‘s attempt to abrogate the Joint Sharing Agreement following the

grant of the initial first round license thus cannot be treated as anything other than a

major amendment. Accordingly, because VITA has determined that it does not wish

to abide by the agreement that resolved mutual exclusivity in the first round, its

changes to its system contrary to that agreement should result in its dismissal from the

initial processing round.

                       Moreover, VITA‘s eligibility for consideration even in this second round

is suspect on two counts. Not only is the current amendment a post cut—off major

amendment to VITA‘s second round application, but VITA has still provided no

reasonable explanation for failing to pay required application fees for either its initial

major amendment incorporating CTA‘s commercial use of the VITA system, or its




/          It is equally ludicrous for VITA to maintain that it is the beneficiary of "a more
           flexible standard" relating to LEO application amendments "in light of the changes
           that first round applicants have made to their systems in order to address potential
           frequency conflicts and refine their system proposals." VITA Consolidated
           Opposition at 4. Such conforming changes were due ninety days following the
          adoption of service rules for the NVNG MSS —— exactly one year ago —— but VITA has
          proceeded to substantially change its system fwice since that deadline. Moreover,
          rather than reducing frequency conflicts, VITA‘s modifications actually increase
           them.

13        For example, in its Consolidated Opposition, VITA observes casually that its
          transceiver units, previously described as "man portable," are now designed to be
          "stationary, portable, or mobile." VITA Consolidated Opposition, Exhibit B at 17.

                       STARSYS‘s comments, along with others, illustrate the need for the

Commission to complete the initial NVNG processing round on an expedited basis.

Only when this step is completed will the second round applicants be in a position to

finalize their system proposals for Commission evaluation. It is nonetheless clear at




           VITA continues to rely on a waiver granted by the Managing Director‘s Office for
           VITA‘s initial application, and explicitly premised on the fact that the system‘s
           services "will be provided on a strictly non—profit basis." VITA Consolidated
           Opposition at 2 citing Letter from Andrew S. Fishel, Managing Director, Federal
           Communications Commission, to Henry R. Norman, President, VITA (dated
          December 22, 1993). VITA subsequently amended its application substantially to
          convert it to commercial use, yet it continues to rely on a waiver explicitly
          conditioned upon its system‘s former non—profit character. Its justification for this
           action is that the Managing Director‘s Office has not yet informed VITA that the
           initial waiver is no longer valid. Given the clear conditions placed on the waiver,
           however, the Managing Director‘s silence can hardly be construed as acquiescence to
           VITA‘s creative interpretation.
