*Needs and Uses:*                     The Commission adopted and released a Report and Order in WT Docket No. 02-353, FCC 03-251, which adopts service, licensing, and competitive bidding rules for advanced wireless services in the 1710-1755 MHz and 2110-2155 MHz bands. These bands have previously been used for a variety of government and non-government services. The R&O allocates these frequency bands for fixed and mobile services to as to provide for the introduction of new advanced wireless services to the public. In the R&O, the Commission is enabling service providers to put this spectrum to its highest value use with minimal transaction costs. By the end of its license term a licensee must provide “substantial service” that is, service that is sound, favorable and substantially above the level of mediocre service that just might minimally warrant renewal. Compared to a construction standard, section 27.14(a)'s substantial service requirement will provide licensees greater flexibility to determine how best to implement their business plans based on criteria demonstrating actual service to end users. This requirement provides the flexibility required to accommodate the new and innovative services that we believe will be forthcoming in these bands.                 

                    The Commission is imposing three information collection burdens on the public. They are: (1) Foreign ownership change submission; (b) showing of compliance with substantial service requirement; and (3) interference coordination. Such information has been used in the past and will continue                           ( print page 61822)                        to be used to minimize interference, verify that the applicants are legally and technically qualified to hold licenses, and to determine compliance with Commission rules.
