(LMDS) is imposed on respondents
pursuant to 47 CFR 101.103 and
101.1011.
Pursuant to 47 CFR 101.1011, LMDS
licensees must make a showing of
substantial service in their license area
within ten years of being licensed. A
licensee must demonstrate that it
provided service which is sound,
favorable, and substantially above a
level of mediocre service which might
minimally warrant renewal.
In order to do so, an LMDS licensee
seeking renewal must submit a showing
to explain why renewal of the license is
warranted. At a minimum, this showing
must include: (1) A description of its
current service in terms of geographic
coverage and population served; (2) an
explanation of its record of expansion,
including a timetable of new
construction to meet changes in demand
for service; and (3) copies of all
Commission rule or policy and a list of
an pending proceedings that relate to
any matter described directly above.
Renewal applications must be filed once
every ten years. The information is used
by Commission staff in carrying out its
duties to determine the technical, legal
and other qualifications of applicants to
operate and remain license to operate a
station in the LMDS. Specifically, the
frequency coordination information
requested pursuant to section 101.103 is
necessary to facilitate the rendition of
communication service on an
interference-free basis in each service
area. The frequency coordination
procedures ensure that LMDS
applicants and licensees have the
information necessary to cooperate in
the selection and use of frequencies
assigned in order to minimize
interference and thereby obtain the most
effective use of the spectrum. The
information is also necessary for the
Commission to resolve interference
conflicts that cannot be settled between
or among the affected applicants and
licensees. For LMDS licensees seeking
renewal, the information requested
pursuant to section 101.1011 is
necessary for the Commission staff to
determine whether a licensee has
provided sufficient evidence of
substantial service during its license
term and has substantially complied
with the Communications Act and with
applicable Commission rules and
policies.
Federal Communications Commission.
