Abstract
This action amends Sec. 101.31 of the fixed microwave service rules to provide for conditional authority in the 10.6-10.68 GHz band (``10 GHz band'') under certain circumstances. The effect of this rule is that licensees will be able to provide service in the 10 GHz band in an expedited manner and will have greater flexibility in coordinating and consolidating construction efforts. This action eliminates a source of regulatory delay and will allow for more rapid delivery of 10 GHz band microwave services to the marketplace. EFFECTIVE DATE: March 5, 1998.
