  • Abstract:
    This Public Notice seeks comment on a letter submitted by the National Telecommunications and

    Information Administration (NTIA) on February 14, 2012, concerning the results of additional government

    testing of the potential interference effects of communications equipment that LightSquared Subsidiary LLC

    (LightSquared) seeks authority to operate. The International Bureau (Bureau) also identifies specific actions

    that may be taken in light of the NTIA Letter and the full record developed to date in this proceeding.

    The authorizations at issue here were granted nearly a decade ago. In 2003, the Commission

    adopted rules permitting Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) licensees, after satisfying certain preconditions

    known as “gating criteria,” to integrate a limited Ancillary Terrestrial Component (ATC) into their

    satellite networks. ATC authorization enabled MSS licensees to offer ancillary ground-based mobile

    services using the same spectrum resources already allocated to their MSS operations. In 2004, the

    Bureau modified the MSS license now held by LightSquared to allow that licensee to offer MSS and an

    ATC service. In 2005, the Commission removed a limit it had imposed in the 2003 rules on the number

    of terrestrial base stations that an MSS/ATC provider may deploy.
