  • BETRS that restricts the issuance of a license to only those entities that receive state approval to provide basic exchange telephone service. We believe that this rule may be unnecessary and may serve as a potential regulatory hurdle towards a more rapid and efficient use of the BETRS spectrum. We therefore propose to remove the eligibility restrictions contained within Section 22.702 of our rules regarding state approval prior to the issuance of a BETRS license. Furthermore, the current service rules for RRS and BETRS provides that new licenses are issued on a secondary, non-interfering basis. This approach ensures that RRS and BETRS licensees are provided access to spectrum so long as they do not cause harmful interference to the primary licensee

  • capital costs for the construction of facilities and for improved coverage in rural areas. The Commission pointed out that all parties to infrastructure sharing arrangements, including small entities, must continue to comply with the Commission's interference and non-interference related rules and policies. Rural Radiotelephone Service (RRS)/Basic Exchange Telecommunications Radio Service (BETRS) The Commission removed the eligibility restrictions contained within Section 22.702 of its rules (47 C.F.R. § 22.702) regarding state approval prior to the issuance of a BETRS license. The Commission believes the removal of this restriction is in the public interest. By eliminating this restriction, a potential regulatory barrier is removed and the process for gaining access to BETRS spectrum is simplified and expedited. Under this approach, a carrier could

  • on whether expanding the secondary status of RRS and BETRS to other spectrum bands would facilitate and encourage construction in rural areas. Finally, the Commission sought comment on whether additional spectrum, issued on a primary basis, is needed at this time for RRS and BETRS. Discussion. We conclude that it is appropriate to remove the eligibility restrictions contained within Section 22.702 of our rules regarding state approval prior to the issuance of a BETRS license. Although no comments were received regarding this specific proposal, we believe the removal of this restriction is in the public interest. As it stands now, a potential BETRS licensee must demonstrate that it has received state approval to provide basic exchange telephone service prior to applying

We initially decided against 109 using auctions to resolve mutual exclusivity between initial BETRS or Rural Radiotelephone applications and common carrier mobile service applications because it would not serve the public interest to establish BETRS as a potentially low-cost alternative to wireline service, and then
