Commercial Operations in the 1695-1710 MHz, 1755-1780 MHz, and 2155-2180 MHz Bands (US Federal Communications Commission Regulation) (FCC) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Commercial Operations in the 1695-1710 MHz, 1755-1780 MHz, and 2155-2180 MHz Bands (US Federal Communications Commission Regulation) (FCC) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) adopts rules governing use of spectrum in the 1695-1710 MHz, 1755-1780 MHz, and 2155-2180 MHz bands that will make available significantly more commercial spectrum for Advanced Wireless Services. This additional 65 megahertz of spectrum for commercial use will help ensure that the speed, capacity, and ubiquity of the nation's wireless networks keeps pace with industry demands for wireless service. This is another step in implementing the Congressional directive in Title VI of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 to make more spectrum available for flexible uses.

Advanced Wireless Services - H Block - 1915-1920 MHz and 1995-2000 MHz Bands (US Federal Communications Commission Regulation) (FCC) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Advanced Wireless Services - H Block - 1915-1920 MHz and 1995-2000 MHz Bands (US Federal Communications Commission Regulation) (FCC) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 In this document, the Commission adopts rules to auction and license ten megahertz of paired spectrum at 1915-1920 MHz and 1995-2000 MHz-the H Block. This action implements the Congressional directive in the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (Spectrum Act) that we grant new initial licenses for these spectrum bands through a system of competitive bidding. In so doing, we extend the widely deployed broadband Personal Communications Services (PCS) band, which is used by the four national wireless providers, as well as regional and rural providers, to offer mobile service across the United States. This additional spectrum for mobile use will help ensure that the speed, capacity, and ubiquity of the Nation's wireless networks keep pace with the skyrocketing demand for mobile services.

Appropriate Framework for Broadband Access to the Internet Over Wireline Facilities (US Federal Communications Commission Regulation) (FCC) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Appropriate Framework for Broadband Access to the Internet Over Wireline Facilities (US Federal Communications Commission Regulation) (FCC) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) establishes a regulatory framework for facilities-based providers of wireline broadband Internet access service. Under this framework, the Commission determines that facilities-based wireline broadband Internet access service is an information service, and that facilities-based providers of the service are no longer required to separate out the transmission component (i.e., transmission in excess of 200 kilobits per second (kbps) in at least one direction) of wireline broadband Internet access services as a stand-alone telecommunications service under Title II of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act), subject to a one-year transition period, during which providers must continue to provide existing wireline broadband Internet access transmission offerings, on a grandfathered basis, to unaffiliated information service providers (ISPs). After the transition period, facilities-based wireline broadband Internet access service providers are permitted to offer broadband Internet access services on a common carrier basis under Title II or on a non-common carrier basis. In addition, the Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) are immediately relieved of all requirements associated with the Commission's Computer Inquiry Orders with respect to wireline broadband Internet access services. The document further concludes that the broadband transmission component of wireline broadband Internet access service is not a telecommunication service under the Act. It also addresses other important areas relating to the provision of broadband Internet access services. Overall, this new regulatory framework encourages the ubiquitous availability of broadband to all Americans by removing outdated regulations, developing consistent regulations across broadband platforms, and encouraging broadband investment and deployment.

Operation of Wireless Communications Services in 2.3 GHz Band, etc. (US Federal Communications Commission Regulation) (FCC) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Operation of Wireless Communications Services in 2.3 GHz Band, etc. (US Federal Communications Commission Regulation) (FCC) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 In this document, the Commission amends its rules to enable the deployment of mobile broadband services in the Wireless Communications Services (WCS) while limiting the potential for harmful interference to satellite radio users, aeronautical mobile telemetry (AMT) operations, and the Deep Space Network (DSN) research facility in Goldstone, CA. In addition, the Commission establishes enhanced performance requirements to ensure that WCS licensees use the spectrum intensively in the public interest. The Commission also adopts technical rules governing the operation of Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS) terrestrial repeaters that will not constrain their function or deployment but will limit the potential for interference to adjacent-band WCS spectrum users, a blanket licensing regime for repeaters operating up to 12 kilowatts (kW) average equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) that will facilitate their deployment, and rules that will ensure that SDARS repeaters remain truly complementary to a satellite-based service and are not used to transmit local programming or advertising.

Licensed to nonprofit educational entities, the 2500-2690 MHz band of spectrum has been plagued by overly intrusive governmental policy since its inception over forty years ago. As a consequence, this spectrum is woefully underutilized. In 2004, the Federal Communications Commission recognized that private sector investment will help fulfill the educational mission of this spectrum and took several important steps to create a "secondary market" for leases of this spectrum. However, some organizations have now proposed that the Commission limit the length of those leases to 15 years. In this BULLETIN, we find that a lease term limitation may lead to reduced private sector investment in and inefficient use of this important band of spectrum.
