  • Abstract:
    In this Order and Authorization (Order), we grant LightSquared Subsidiary LLC

    (LightSquared), a Mobile Satellite Service (MSS)1 licensee in the L-Band,2 a conditional waiver of the

    Ancillary Terrestrial Component (ATC) “integrated service” rule. On November 18, 2010, LightSquared

    submitted an application for modification of its existing ATC authorization, asserting that the services it

    plans to offer would meet the Commission’s integrated service requirements for MSS/ATC for L-Band

    MSS systems.3 In considering LightSquared’s request, and in granting this waiver, we considered several

    factors, including LightSquared’s provision of substantial satellite service in the L-Band, its ongoing

    efforts to coordinate with other L-Band operators and make substantial investments to rationalize

    operations in the L-Band to enable use of this spectrum for both MSS and ATC broadband services, the

    steps it has taken to promote an MSS/ATC marketplace that includes dual-mode satellite/terrestrial

    devices, and its deployment of a 4G satellite/terrestrial network in the L-Band pursuant to unique and

    substantial terrestrial buildout requirements. We attach conditions to the waiver, drawn from

    commitments made by LightSquared in its request, to ensure that LightSquared’s proposed service

    offering – both its improved satellite service and its ancillary terrestrial component – will achieve the

    purposes of the integrated service rule.
