## Abstract

By this Third Report and Order (Third R&O), the Commission denies In-Flight Phone Corporation's (In-Flight's) request for a pioneer's preference in the General Wireless Communications Service (GWCS) at 4660-4685 MHz. The Commission finds that the GWCS service rules are not a reasonable outgrowth of In-Flight's ground-to-air programming service proposal, that In-Flight failed to demonstrate the technical feasibility of its proposal in the 4660-4685 MHz band, and that In-Flight's proposed ground-to-air programming service is not sufficiently innovative to warrant a preference in any band. This action is intended to affirm the Commission's policy of awarding pioneer's preferences only for innovations of some significance.
