Current and future services in the 18 GHz band will typically include broadband internet access, interactive multimedia, franchised or private cable, cellular backbone, satellite feederlinks, telemedicine and various digital data services. The adopted bandplan is: [TABLE NOT SHOWN] 17.7 18.3 18.58 18.8 19.3 19.7 20.2 GHz In bands where geostationary satellite (GSO) and non-geostationary satellite (NGSO) FSS operators will have primary status (18.58-18.8 and 18.8-19.3 GHz, respectively), the Commission adopted rules that permit certain existing fixed stations to continue to operate on a co-primary basis subject to the over-riding right of satellite providers to require them to relocate.

With regard to its Toa Alta cable system, Century states that, using the same methodology described above, it arrived at an estimated 1996 household total of 56,079 households. Century further states that, as of July 1997, it had 11,345 subscribers to its Toa Alta cable system which results in a penetration rate of 20.2 percent for its Toa Alta cable system. Century thus maintains that its Toa Alta cable system meets the low penetration effective competition test. 8. In opposition, the Board does not oppose Century's petition with respect to its Toa Alta cable system. With regard to Century's San Juan system, the Board asserts that Century's calculation of current households based upon its

To this end, NTIA has withdrawn the allocation for the Government radionavigation service in the 24.2 5 - 24.45 GHz and 25.05 - 25.25 GHz bands to permit relocation of DEMS from the 18 GHz band. In addition, NTIA requires that the Commission limit future FCC licensees from using the 17. 8-20.2 GHz band for operations in the Washington, D.C. and Denver areas based on criteria discussed below. 7. In addition to Government satellite use, in July 1996, we set forth a p lan for non- Government satellite downlink use of the 17.7 - 20.2 GHz band and for paired GS O and non- GSO ("NGSO") satellite uplinks, as well as Local
