**1974 - FCC’s initial allocation of land mobile radio services at 800 MHz and initial cellular allocations.**
**           ****Land mobile allocations were technology-based, not service-based. **
**           ****A simple 70-mile co-channel separation rule adopted to prevent interference.**
**           ****Applicants choose between conventional and trunked channels on a “first-come, first-served” basis.**
