Abstract:
The Commission is submitting this proposed rulemaking for the Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) H Block to make available ten megahertz of spectrum for flexile use, extending the current Personal Communications Services (PCS) band, which is used by the four national providers as well as regional and rural providers to offer mobile service across the Nation. The NPRM begins the implementation of the Congressional directive in the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (Spectrum Act) to grant new initial licenses for the 1915-1920 MHz (Lower H Block) and 1995-2000 MHz (Upper H Block) bands through a system of competitive bidding - unless doing so would cause harmful interference to commercial mobile service licensees in the 1930-1995 MHz (PCS downlink) band.
