**United States of America**

**PRELIMINARY VIEWS ON WRC-07**

**Agenda Item 1.9:** to review the technical, operational and regulatory
provisions applicable to the use of the band 2 500-2 690 MHz by space
services in order to facilitate sharing with current and future
terrestrial services without placing undue constraint on the services to
which the band is allocated;

**ISSUE**: Technical, operational and regulatory provisions applicable
to the use of the band 2 500-2 690 MHz by space services in order to
facilitate protection of the terrestrial services in the band.

**BACKGROUND**: The band 2 500-2 690 MHz is allocated to terrestrial and
satellite services. The terrestrial services allocations include Mobile
and Fixed services (including IMT-2000). Both services have been rapidly
evolving to encompass high speed mobile internet access requiring
sensitive receiving equipment some of which are highly susceptible to
interference.

The satellite services in the band include MSS, BSS (including GSO and
non-GSO), and FSS. At WRC-03, the issue of sharing between terrestrial
services and NGSO BSS(Sound) in certain Region 3 countries was resolved
with the revision of pfd limits for NGSO BSS(Sound) per Resolution
**539**. GSO BSS(Sound) limits within these countries were also adjusted
for systems for which complete Appendix **4** coordination information
has been received after 1 June 2005. Other than for these Region 3
countries, the BSS limits remained unchanged as specified in Table 21-4
of the Radio Regulations.

WRC-03 recognized that there may be a need to revise technical,
operational and regulatory provisions applicable to the space services
in the band to accommodate the implementation of new innovative
technologies in the Fixed and Mobile services. To that end, WRC-03
developed and included this issue for consideration by WRC-07 (see
Agenda Item 1.9).

In general, co-frequency sharing between the MSS and terrestrial
services has been found to be difficult in the ITU-R studies. The
sharing between the terrestrial services and the MSS poses risks of
harmful interference to both systems. In addition, it requires large
separation distance between terrestrial stations and MSS earth terminals
in order to avoid harmful interference to both stations. Recommendation
M.2041 studied the feasibility of sharing between MSS and MS for
IMT-2000 and highlighted the incompatibility between these two services
on a co-frequency basis.

Both BSS and FSS are also allocated to the 2 500-2 690 MHz band and are
subject to the limits in Table 21-4. Within Region 2 any satellite
service launched may overlap many other Region 2 countries and have the
effect of interfering with existing and planned terrestrial services
within that band.

Administrations in Region 2 are planning for implementation of only
terrestrial services in the 2500-2690 MHz band (See Administration
responses to an WP-8F questionnaire attached). There are no plans to
provide satellite services in Region 2. In the United States there are
no allocations to space services in this band.

**UNITED STATES VIEW**:

1.  The United States is of the view that the scope of this agenda item
    is restricted to consideration of technical, operational and
    regulatory provisions applicable to the use of the band
    2 500-2 690 MHz by space services in order to facilitate protection
    of the terrestrial services in the band.

2.  The United States supports the ongoing studies being conducted at
    ITU-R with the view to establishing necessary regulatory protection
    for the terrestrial services in the 2500‑2690 MHz band.

3.  Recognizing that implementations of satellite networks in Region 2
    may negatively impact terrestrial services of several Region 2
    countries and that Region 2 administrations are not planning to
    provide satellite services within the region, the United States is
    of the view that allocations to satellite services in the band
    2 500 - 2 690 MHz in Region 2 may be unnecessary.

4.  In particular, the United States recognizes that since
    administrations in Region 2 have no plans for the implementation of
    the MSS systems in the band 2 500 -- 2 690 MHz, there is a need to
    consider the feasibility of the primary allocations to MSS in the
    band 2 500 -- 2 690 MHz in Region 2.

5.  The United States supports NOC to RR footnotes **5.417A** and
    **5.418** as adopted by WRC-03 relating to non-GSO and GSO BSS
    (sound) systems in the band 2 605-2 655 MHz. (November 2004)

|             | However, the band is primarily used for the multipoint |
|             | multichannel distribution service, a modality of       |
|             | pay-TV service, which is a fixed service[^5]. On a     |
|             | secondary basis, the band is used for TV broadcasting  |
|             | relay systems and electronic news gathering.           |
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| Mexico\     | The 2 500-2 690 MHz band is currently attributed and   |
| Doc. 8F/167 | licensed for MMDS and MDS (restricted TV and wireless  |

+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| Cameroon\   | The band 2 500-2 690 MHz is currently heavily used for |
| Doc. 8F/160 | the fixed service by short range microwave links for   |
|             | inter-switch connections in the main cities (Douala,   |
|             | Yaoundé).                                              |
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| Japan\      | The band 2 500-2 535 MHz and 2 655-2 690 MHz is used   |
| Doc. 8F/136 | for MSS, downlink and uplink respectively. The band 2  |
|             | 605-2 655 MHz is planned to be used for BSS.           |
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| Korea\      | Wireless CATV is allocated in this band and satellite  |
| Doc. 8F/133 | DMB services are also allocated in parts of the band   |
|             | of Wireless CATV as results of prior WRCs. According   |
|             | to obligation of the wireless CATV, the bands          |
|             | allocated to satellite DMB services should be          |
|             | available whenever the services begin to be deployed.  |
|             | Several parts of the band 2 500-2 690 MHz are now      |
|             | utilized for supporting broadcasting services on a     |

| USA\        | In the United States, the 2 500-2 690 MHz band is      |
| Doc. 8F/122 | allocated to the fixed and mobile (except aeronautical |
|             | mobile) services on a primary basis. In addition, the  |
|             | 2 655-2 690 MHz band is allocated to the earth         |
|             | exploration-satellite (passive), radio astronomy, and  |
|             | space research (passive) services, all on a secondary  |
|             | basis. All other allocations to satellite services     |
|             | have been removed from the U.S. allocations table for  |
|             | this band.                                             |

|             | The band is presently being used by operators          |
|             | providing four kinds of basic service offerings: (1)   |
|             | downstream analog video; (2) downstream digital video; |
|             | (3) downstream digital data; and (4) downstream/       |
|             | upstream digital data. Operators have deployed or      |
|             | sought to deploy three alternative kinds of system     |
|             | configurations: high powered video stations, high      |
|             | power fixed two-way systems and low power,             |
|             | cellularized two-way systems.                          |

| Canada\     | In Canada, the entire band 2 500-2 690 MHz has primary |
| Doc. 8F/118 | allocations to the fixed and mobile services and in    |
|             | addition, an allocation to the broadcasting service in |
|             | the upper portion of the band (2 596-2 686 MHz).       |
|             |                                                        |
|             | The lower portion of the band (2 500-2 596 MHz) is     |
|             | used for multipoint communications systems (MCS) to    |
|             | advance local distribution of telecommunications       |
|             | services. The upper portion (2 596-2 686 MHz) is used  |
|             | for multipoint distribution system (MDS) to support    |
|             | local broadcasting distribution undertakings. There    |
|             | are currently no operators authorized in the mobile    |
|             | service.                                               |

Does your Administration have any future plans to change the allocations
and\
future use of the band 2 500-2 690 MHz? If so, in what time frame?

+-------------+---+--------------------------------------------------------+
| UAE\        |   | No plans.                                              |
| Doc. 8F/184 |   |                                                        |
+-------------+---+--------------------------------------------------------+
| Brazil\     |   | The Brazilian Administration has, so far, no plan for  |
| Doc. 8F/177 |   | introducing IMT-2000 on this band. However, once the   |
|             |   | long term prospects for the MMDS and the further       |
|             |   | regulation for the use of this band is established by  |
|             |   | ITU (i.e. FDD and TDD distribution on the band),       |
|             |   | Brazil understands that worldwide this band has        |
|             |   | potential for supporting the rapid development of      |
|             |   | IMT-2000 and beyond, making easier to obtain the scale |
|             |   | needed for it.                                         |
+-------------+---+--------------------------------------------------------+
| Mexico\     |   | Mexico has not defined the time frame when the         |
| Doc. 8F/167 |   | attribution of this band could be changed. It will     |
|             |   | depend on the market conditions as well as the         |
|             |   | introduction of new services and technologies. As of   |
|             |   | today, Mexico considers that the planned IMT‑2000      |
|             |   | capacity in other identified bands is enough in the    |
|             |   | long term.                                             |
+-------------+---+--------------------------------------------------------+
| Cameroon\   |   | No modification of the attributions in this band is    |

|             |   | Rulemaking to "facilitate the provision of fixed and   |
|             |   | mobile broadband access, educational and other         |
|             |   | advanced services" in this band. It is expected that   |
|             |   | an Order(s) will be released sometime during the first |
|             |   | half of 2004, which will contain sharing criteria and  |
