  • currently exist. For instance, certain concerns in reality relate to section 90.733(d), which, as amended in 1997, already permits all licensees in the 220 MHz band to combine channels to form channels wider than 5 kHz, as Access 220 proposes to do. A second concern, regarding the 1 MHz offset between transmit and receive frequencies, is governed by rules, sections 90.715 and 90.723, that have been in place since the 220 MHz service was created. Again, nothing in Access 220's request for waiver raises unique harmful interference issues, and Access 220 seeks no waiver of any technical requirements. Accordingly, such concerns provide no impediment to grant of the requested waiver. In addition, contrary to the concern raised by one commenter, the

Specifically, AAR seeks a waiver of sections 90.713(a) and 90.717(b) of the Commission's rules, both of which restrict the spectrum covered by the License to commercial use only. AAR also seeks a waiver of section 90.715(a), which designates one frequency in each 220 MHz channel pair as the "base station" frequency and the other as the "mobile station" frequency. Finally, AAR requests that the Commission waive rule section 90.709(c), which subjects an assignee of a Phase I nationwide 220 MHz license to the four construction benchmarks set forth in section 90.725 of the Commission's rules, and
