Electronic Communications Regulation Update: FCC adopts order ...

"The Federal Communications Commission today adopted revised rules to enable Wireless Communications Service (WCS) licensees? to use a total of 30 megahertz of underutilized spectrum in the 2.3 GHz band for wireless broadband services, while protecting the adjacent Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS) operator Sirius XM Radio Inc. (Sirius XM) against harmful interference. Today?s action continues the FCC?s efforts to remove the regulatory barriers that are limiting the flexible use of spectrum for broadband services.

The revised rules are consistent with a compromise proposal between AT&T Inc. and Sirius XM designed to facilitate the efficient deployment and coexistence of the WCS and SDARS.?

Of the 30 megahertz of total spectrum, 20 megahertz may be used for mobile broadband services and 10 megahertz for fixed broadband services, with possible future use as downlink spectrum to serve mobile broadband devices." (see FCC's press release and order).
