Abstract
The Commission has amended its rules to permit IVDS licensees to provide mobile service to subscribers. This action authorizes mobile operation of response transmitter units (subscriber units) operated with an effective radiated power of 100 milliwatts or less. The Commission also eliminated the IVDS ``duty cycle'' requirement for operations outside of TV channel 13 Grade B contours. The Commission found that these amendments would provide additional flexibility for IVDS licensees to meet the communications needs of the public without increasing the likelihood of interference.
