Abstract
In this document, the Commission addresses petitions for reconsideration filed by eight parties. The Commission affirms its prior decisions regarding issues relating to the transition to DTV service and the rules for auctioning and licensing of new services on the 698-746 MHz spectrum band (Lower 700 MHz Band), which has been reallocated pursuant to statutory requirements. The Commission takes these actions to promote the transition to DTV, meet its statutory mandate to reclaim and license this spectrum by competitive bidding, and enable the flexible use of the Lower 700 MHz Band for a wide range of new services.
