  • applicable to the 4.9 GHz band, we propose to codify these procedures for the 2.3 GHz band. In summary, under our proposal, a 4.9 GHz licensee would be authorized to provide a variety or combination of fixed, mobile (except aeronautical mobile), common carrier, and non-common carrier services. We seek comment on these proposals. 2. Eligibility; Spectrum Aggregation Sections 27.12 and 27.302 of the Commission's Rules impose no restrictions on eligibility, other than the foreign ownership restrictions set forth in Section 310 of the Communications Act, and discussed below. Consistent with these sections of the existing rules in Part 27, we propose that there will be no additional restrictions on eligibility for a license in the 4.9 GHz band. We believe that

  • applicable to the 4.9 GHz band, we propose to codify these procedures for the 2.3 GHz band. In summary, under our proposal, a 4.9 GHz licensee would be authorized to provide a variety or combination of fixed, mobile (except aeronautical mobile), common carrier, and non-common carrier services. We seek comment on these proposals. 2. Eligibility; Spectrum Aggregation Sections 27.12 and 27.302 of the Commission's Rules impose no restrictions on eligibility, other than the foreign ownership restrictions set forth in Section 310 of the Communications Act, and discussed below.

  • NPRM sought comment on a range of issues raised in the Balanced Budget Act Notice regarding Band Manager licensing, including eligibility and use restrictions for Band Manager licenses, whether to adopt measures that might promote competition among Band Managers, and whether to adopt rules to ensure fair and nondiscriminatory access by prospective users of Band Manager Spectrum. Sections 27.12 and 27.302 of the Commission's Rules impose no restrictions on eligibility, other than the foreign ownership restrictions set forth in Section 310 of the Communications Act.
