FCCA Update - Russell Fox, FCCA Counsel:


On September 25, 2008, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC” or “Commission”) issued a Third Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making (“Further Notice”) proposing rules governing the Upper 700 MHz D Block  When the FCC previously attempted to auction the D Block spectrum on a nationwide basis it did not receive a minimum acceptable bid.  The new rules would lower the minimum acceptable bid and permit the D Block to be licensed on a regional, as well as nationwide, basis.  The Further Notice also proposes changes to the organization and management of the PSBL.


The FCC also released a Memorandum Opinion and Order (“MO&O”) in the rebanding decision responding to petitions for reconsideration filed by Kenwood and the City of New York.   In the MO&O, the FCC says that it will engage in a rulemaking proceeding before it requires licensees to migrate to 6.25 kHz technology (implying, but not stating that it will leave an adequate window between the time that licensees are required to move from 12.5 kHz before it requires another move to 6.25 kHz).  Nevertheless, it still encouraged licensees to move to 6.25 kHz.  The "MO& O" may be read here.
