This spectrum is divided into ten channel blocks, each of which is further subdivided into six control channels (P1-P6) and 29 communications channels (C1-C29). Licensees in this service generally must locate their ground stations within 1.6 kilometers of the 97 site locations identified by coordinates in section 22.859 of our rules. One of the ten blocks of channels is allotted to each of these geographic site locations. Each of the six possible commercial air-ground licensees has access to an exclusive nationwide control channel in each channel block; communications channels are shared among all licensees.

In your Petition, you asked us to initiate a rulemaking proceeding to amend the geographical reference coordinates of certain ground station locations set out in former Section 22.1109 of the Commission's rules. That section has since been renumbered and is now 47 C.F.R. § 22.859. Under Section 22.859, providers of air-to-ground (``ATG'') telephone service must locate their ground stations within one mile of the reference coordinates listed in Section 22.859. The Petition specifically requests changes in the reference coordinates for 11 sites. The original petition for rulemaking seeks amendments to the reference coordinates for seven sites: Kenner, Louisiana; Nashville, Tennessee; Bedford, Texas; Kansas City, Missouri;
