Fixed satellite service (FSS) spectrum flexibility is needed because future requirements of satellite companies can’t be anticipated and spectrum flexibility is prerequisite to efficient operation of satellite systems, PanAmSat said in comments to FCC on proposed plan by Fixed Wireless Communications Coalition to change Commission rules on access to spectrum for satellite services (CD Jan 10 p4). In filing that supported position of Satellite Industry Assn. and Satellite Bcstg. & Communications Assn., PanAmSat said FSS spectrum flexibility was required and Commission should abandon proposal to add demonstrated-use requirement.
