## Abstract

The Federal Communications Commission has adopted licensing and service rules for entities to provide Fixed Satellite Service in the Ku-Band frequencies, specifically the 10.7-11.7 GHz, 11.7-12.2 GHz, 12.2-12.7 GHz, 12.75-13.25 GHz, 13.75-14.0 GHz, and 14.0-14.5 GHz frequency bands. System proponents currently on file are required to amend their proposals to comply with the adopted rules. Following a public comment period on the amendments, qualified systems will be authorized to operate. Upon launch, these new systems will provide a variety of data, video and telephony services in Ku-Band frequencies to U.S. consumers, for communications in the United States and around the world.
