Synopsis of the Notice of Inquiry 19467 Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary. [FR Doc. 05–7181 Filed 4–12–05; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6712–01–P 1. The NOI seeks comment on a broad range of issues regarding the tying or bundling of services in general that have been raised before the Commission. In the NOI, the Commission seeks to examine the competitive consequences when providers bundle their legacy services with new services, or ‘‘tie’’ such services together such that the services are not available independent from one another to end users. The Commission seeks comment on how such bundling might affect both intramodal and intermodal competition and the effect that it might have on the public interest, including benefits to consumers. Several commenters in Commission proceedings have raised the possibility that bundling services potentially harms competition because consumers have to purchase redundant or unwanted services. As the communications marketplace continues to move toward bundled solutions for consumers, the Commission asks commenters to address specifically whether competition is supplying sufficient incentives for providers to disaggregate bundles to maximize consumer choice. The Commission seeks comment on whether such bundling behavior is harmful to competition, particularly unaffiliated providers of new services, such as voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), and if so, how this is related to several previous decisions or ongoing proceedings relating to dominance and classification issues. Finally, the Commission seeks comment on its authority to impose remedies, the adequacy and costs of any potential regulatory remedies, and the least invasive regulations that could effectively remedy any potential competitive concerns. Paperwork Reduction Act 2. This NOI does not contain proposed information collection(s) subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), Pub. L. 104–13. In addition, therefore, it does not contain any proposed ‘‘information collection burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees,’’ pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Pub. L. 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4). Ordering Clause Accordingly, it is ordered that the Notice of Inquiry is adopted.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a summary of the Commission’s Public Notice, WT Docket No. 05–157, released on March 29, 2005. Commissioner Copps issued a statement when this action was taken. 1. The Commission initiates the present proceeding pursuant to the requirements of Section 7502 of the Act. Section 7502(a) provides: The Federal Communications Commission shall, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security and the National Telecommunications and E:\FR\FM\13APN1.SGM 13APN1 19468 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 70 / Wednesday, April 13, 2005 / Notices Information Administration, conduct a study to assess short-term and long-term needs for allocations of additional portions of the electromagnetic spectrum for Federal, State, and local emergency response providers, including whether or not an additional allocation of spectrum in the 700 megahertz band should be granted by Congress to such emergency response providers. 2. In addition, section 7502(c) provides that, in conducting this study, the Commission shall: (1) Seek input from Federal, State, local, and regional emergency response providers regarding the operation and administration of a potential nationwide interoperable broadband mobile communications network; and (2) Consider the use of commercial wireless technologies to the greatest extent practicable. 3. Finally, section 7502(d) requires the Commission to submit a report on the study, including the study’s findings, to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, and the House Select Committee on Homeland Security no later than one year after the date of enactment of the Intelligence Reform Act, i.e., by December 17, 2005. 4. We hereby seek input regarding the need for, operation, and administration of a potential nationwide interoperable broadband mobile communications network. In addition, we more broadly request comment from emergency response providers and other interested parties on any related issues that would provide additional pertinent information for the Commission’s study, pursuant to section 7502. We ask commenters to address the future spectrum needs of the emergency responder community, for interoperability purposes and otherwise, both on a short-term basis and on a long-term basis. Commenters are encouraged to address whether or not Congress should provide an additional allocation of spectrum in the 700 MHz band for emergency response provider communications. We also ask that commenters consider the extent to which commercial wireless technologies may be used to satisfy the communications needs of emergency response providers. 5. Proponents of additional spectrum allocations to accommodate public safety interoperability, and to otherwise satisfy the spectrum needs of emergency response providers, are asked to identify specific frequency bands which can be VerDate jul<14>2003 18:37 Apr 12, 2005 Jkt 205001 designated for that purpose, and to offer support for the amount of spectrum identified. We also ask that these commenters discuss the potential benefits and difficulties associated with use of spectrum in the identified bands for emergency response/interoperability communications. 6. We note that, as technological innovations have created new and innovative uses for wireless technology, and as wireless communications have taken on increasing importance in emergency response incidents, the Commission has endeavored to keep pace with public safety spectrum needs. Currently, more than 97 megahertz of spectrum is allocated in support of public safety communications, including 24 megahertz in the 700 MHz band, and the designation of 50 megahertz at 4940–4990 MHz for broadband and advanced technology applications in support of public safety. Recently, the Commission reallocated television spectrum in the New York City area for public safety use to promote interoperability among area users. In addition, the Commission’s recent decision in the 800 MHz band reconfiguration proceeding created access to an average of 4.5 megahertz of additional spectrum for public safety licensees. The Commission continues to evaluate its rules in light of public safety communications needs and to facilitate the deployment of interoperable networks to serve local, state, and federal entities throughout the country. 7. Comments must be filed no later than April 28, 2005. All filings concerning matters referenced in this Notice should refer to FCC 05–80 and WT Docket No. 05–157. 8.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a summary of the Commission's Public 
Notice, WT Docket No. 05-157, released on March 29, 2005. Commissioner 
Copps issued a statement when this action was taken.
    1. The Commission initiates the present proceeding pursuant to the 
requirements of Section 7502 of the Act. Section 7502(a) provides:
    The Federal Communications Commission shall, in consultation with 
the Secretary of Homeland Security and the National Telecommunications 
and

[[Page 19468]]

Information Administration, conduct a study to assess short-term and 
long-term needs for allocations of additional portions of the 
electromagnetic spectrum for Federal, State, and local emergency 
response providers, including whether or not an additional allocation 
of spectrum in the 700 megahertz band should be granted by Congress to 
such emergency response providers.
    2. In addition, section 7502(c) provides that, in conducting this 
study, the Commission shall:
    (1) Seek input from Federal, State, local, and regional emergency 
response providers regarding the operation and administration of a 
potential nationwide interoperable broadband mobile communications 
network; and
    (2) Consider the use of commercial wireless technologies to the 
greatest extent practicable.
    3. Finally, section 7502(d) requires the Commission to submit a 
report on the study, including the study's findings, to the Senate 
Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, the Senate 
Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, the House 
Committee on Energy and Commerce, and the House Select Committee on 
Homeland Security no later than one year after the date of enactment of 
the Intelligence Reform Act, i.e., by December 17, 2005.
    4. We hereby seek input regarding the need for, operation, and 
administration of a potential nationwide interoperable broadband mobile 
communications network. In addition, we more broadly request comment 
from emergency response providers and other interested parties on any 
related issues that would provide additional pertinent information for 
the Commission's study, pursuant to section 7502. We ask commenters to 
address the future spectrum needs of the emergency responder community, 
for interoperability purposes and otherwise, both on a short-term basis 
and on a long-term basis. Commenters are encouraged to address whether 
or not Congress should provide an additional allocation of spectrum in 
the 700 MHz band for emergency response provider communications. We 
also ask that commenters consider the extent to which commercial 
wireless technologies may be used to satisfy the communications needs 
of emergency response providers.
    5. Proponents of additional spectrum allocations to accommodate 
public safety interoperability, and to otherwise satisfy the spectrum 
needs of emergency response providers, are asked to identify specific 
frequency bands which can be designated for that purpose, and to offer 
support for the amount of spectrum identified. We also ask that these 
commenters discuss the potential benefits and difficulties associated 
with use of spectrum in the identified bands for emergency response/
interoperability communications.
    6. We note that, as technological innovations have created new and 
innovative uses for wireless technology, and as wireless communications 
have taken on increasing importance in emergency response incidents, 
the Commission has endeavored to keep pace with public safety spectrum 
needs. Currently, more than 97 megahertz of spectrum is allocated in

4.5 megahertz of additional spectrum for public safety licensees. The 
Commission continues to evaluate its rules in light of public safety 
communications needs and to facilitate the deployment of interoperable 
networks to serve local, state, and federal entities throughout the 
country.
