Abstract
By this Memorandum Opinion and Order, the Commission confirms its allocation of 70 megahertz of spectrum at 1990-2025 MHz and 2165- 2200 MHz to the Mobile-Satellite Service (MSS), to become available on January 1, 2000. The Commission requires new MSS licensees to bear the cost of relocating Broadcast Auxiliary Service (BAS) licensees in the 1990-2110 MHz band, and Fixed Service (FS) microwave licensees from the 2110-2130 MHz and 2165-2200 MHz bands in cases where sharing between MSS and FS is not possible.
