Motorola is seeking modifications and technical rule waivers reflecting developments in system design and
Motorola‘s assessment of the emerging demand for more varied types of services. In addition, Motorola
requests removal of the feeder link conditions imposed on its authorization, in light of the successful
allocation of MSS feeder link spectrum at WRC—95, and grant of an unconditional launch and operational
authority for its MSS feederlinks.
