Order To Deny Petitions for Reconsideration of MVDDS Technical and Licensing Rules in the 12 GHz Band

In this document the Commission affirms the technical rules and procedures dealing with sharing of spectrum between Multichannel Video Distribution and Data Service (MVDDS) and Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) and Non-geostationary (NGSO) fixed satellite service (FSS) in the 12.2-12.7 GHz band that the Commission adopted in the Memorandum Opinion and Order and Second Report and Order (Second R&O). The Commission also affirms the dismissal of the pending license applications to provide terrestrial service in the 12.2-12.7 GHz band. The Commission takes these actions in the course of addressing the petitions for reconsideration that were filed in response to the Second R&O in this proceeding. The Commission amends or clarifies certain rule sections, but otherwise denies the petitions for reconsideration. The adoption of the amended rules and the disposition of the petitions for reconsideration will facilitate initiation of MVDDS in the 12.2-12.7 GHz band.
