Fixed-Satellite Service

By this Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM), the Commission proposes to allocate the 13.75-14.0 GHz band to the Fixed-Satellite Service (``FSS'') on a co-primary basis for Earth-to-space (``uplink'') transmissions. Adoption of this proposal would accommodate growing demand for FSS services and would provide satellite operators with increased flexibility in the design of their systems.
