  • for the C block auction, not just small businesses. Additionally, since 2 Radiofone's rulemaking petition implicates the basic underpinnings of the PCS/cellular cross- ownership rule and the CMRS spectrum cap, such a rulemaking could possibly implicate other 3 wireless spectrum limits not mentioned by Radiofone and never challenged: i.e., 40 MHz limit in same broadband PCS market (47 C.F.R. § 24.229(c)); 50 MHz limit on same-market cellular (47 C.F.R. § 22.942); and ownership restrictions in narrowband PCS (47 C.F.R. § 24.101). Given that the C block auction began on December 18, 1995, Radiophone is incorrect in suggesting that such a proceeding could be completed before the commencement of the C block auction.4 4.
