  • Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau: Introduction. On February 27, 2007, Northeast Utilities Service Company (NUSCO) filed the above-captioned applications, and accompanying request for waiver, for authorization to operate at twenty-three locations in Connecticut on Public Safety Pool frequencies in the 220-222 MHz (220 MHz) band. NUSCO seeks a waiver of the public safety eligibility requirements contained in Sections 90.20(a), 90.719(c), and 90.720 of the Commission's Rules, and of Section 90.733(d), which prohibits aggregating these frequencies. For the reasons stated herein, we deny NUSCO's waiver request, and will dismiss the applications. Background. NUSCO holds the Commission licenses for the Northeast Utilities operating companies, which furnish electric service to approximately 1.9 million customers in Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, and natural gas to approximately
