Abstract
In this document, the Commission addresses petitions for reconsideration and establishes technical, service and licensing rules for Multichannel Video Distribution and Data Service (MVDDS) in the 12 GHz band. MVDDS will facilitate the delivery of new communications services, such as video and broadband services, to a wide range of populations, including those that are unserved or underserved. These rules adopted will allow MVDDS licensees to share the 12 GHz band with new operators on a co-primary basis and on a co-primary, non-harmful interference basis with incumbent Direct Broadcast Satellite service providers.
