Abstract
The Federal Communications Commission amends its rules to allocate spectrum and adopt service rules and procedures to govern the use of Vehicle-Mounted Earth Stations (VMES) in the Ku-band. These allocation, technical and licensing rules permit the domestic, U.S. licensing of VMES as a primary application of the Fixed-Satellite Service (FSS) in the relevant conventional and extended Ku-band frequencies.
