The parties discussed the application of the Commission’s spectrum division rules, 47 C.F.R. §25.158(d), as described in the conditions to the 17/24 GHz authorizations at the nominal 91°W, 99°W, 107°W, and 111°W orbital locations, referenced in the attachment. The licensees understand that each licensee at a nominal orbital location is authorized to use the entire 17/24 GHz allocation (i.e., the 17.3-17.8 GHz band (downlink) and 24.75-25.25 GHz band (uplink)), to the extent requested in the licensee’s respective application, subject to the conditions specified in the authorization regarding division of spectrum and the frequency selection process. Further, the parties understand that in the event a licensee surrenders or forfeits its license, the remaining licensee(s) at that orbital location would continue to have the right to use the entire 17/24 GHz allocation at that location, to the extent requested in such licensee’s respective application, and the Bureau would make frequencies at that nominal orbital location available for reassignment only if there were no remaining licensee(s) at that orbital location authorized to use the frequencies.
