This authorization is conditioned on SkyBridge's ability to avoid in-line interference events with other NGSO FSS licensees in the Ku-band. Sharing with Other Users Incumbent GSO FSS operators and terrestrial fixed service operators raised concerns about SkyBridge's potential to adversely affect their co-frequency services in the Ku-band. Section 25.146(e) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.146(e), provides that NGSO FSS systems shall not claim protection from GSO FSS and Broadcast Satellite Service (BSS) networks operating in accordance with Commission rules.

The Commission also adopted technical sharing criteria to allow NGSO FSS and GSO FSS co-frequency operations, consisting of equivalent power flux density (EPFD) downlink limits, likewise consistent with WRC-2000 decisions. Section 25.146(e) of the Commission's rules provides that NGSO FSS systems shall not claim protection from GSO FSS and Broadcast Satellite Service (BSS) networks operating in accordance with Commission rules. Thus NGSO FSS systems must operate in Ku-band frequencies on a non-harmful interference basis toward GSO FSS systems. The Commission adopted a number of EPFD limits on Ku-band NGSO FSS operations to

The Fourth MO&O has a typographical error in the new paragraph (g) that was adopted in Section 25.146 of our rules. Paragraph (g) incorrectly cross references non-existent Section 25.205 (o) instead of Section 25.208 (o). The discussion in the text of the Fourth MO&O at paragraph 108 clearly indicates that Section 25.208 (o) is the correct section that should be cross referenced in Section 25.146.

Once the ITU simulation software is available, coordination procedures will be required only when the EPFDdown radiated by an NGSO FSS system exceed the limits in Section 25.146. Until that time, coordination procedures will be triggered by the GSO Earth station criteria, as specified in Section 25.146, and as identified by the Director of the ITU-BR.
