Fixed Satellite Service and Terrestrial System in the Ku-Band

This document permits non-geostationary satellite orbit ("NGSO") fixed-satellite service ("FSS") providers to operate in certain segments of the Ku-band, and adopts rules and policies to govern such operations. NGSO FSS can provide a variety of new services to the public, such as high speed Internet access, plus other types of high speed data, video and telephony services. NGSO FSS can bring advanced services to rural areas. This document also concludes that a new terrestrial fixed Multichannel Video Distribution and Data Service can share the 12.2-12.7 GHz band with satellite operations without causing harmful interference.
