  • Management, NTIA, to Don Abelson, Chief, International Bureau, FCC (February 28, 2002). Id. Id. Allocation of a given frequency band for a particular service on a primary basis entitles operators to protection against harmful interference from stations of "secondary" services. Further, secondary services cannot claim protection from harmful interference caused by stations of a primary service. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 2.104(d) and 2.105(c). Use of the band by the FSS domestically in the United States is subject to certain restrictions. Specifically, Non-Government footnote NG104 to the U.S. Table of Frequency Allocations states that the use of the bands 10.7-11.7 GHz in the fixed-satellite service is limited to international systems, i.e. "other than domestic systems." The Commission interpreted this language to mean
