Abstract
The Federal Communications Commission has adopted licensing and service rules for entities to provide Mobile Satellite Service in the 2 GHz Band, specifically the 1990-2025 MHz and 2165-2200 MHz frequency bands. System proponents currently on file are required to amend their proposals to comply with the adopted rules. Following a public comment period, qualified systems will be authorized to operate. Upon launch, these new systems will provide mobile voice, data, Internet and other services to U.S. consumers for communications in the United States and around the world.
