The Commission also proposed to assign 11.35 megahertz of downlink spectrum in the S-band for shared use by CDMA systems. In addition, the Commission proposed to insert a condition in each CDMA-system license that would reduce the assigned uplink bandwidth from 11.35 megahertz to 8.25 megahertz ``[i]n the unlikely event that [no other] CDMA system is implemented.''
