DA 12-1944 5.
TWG was originally required to demonstrate substantial service on June 17, 2008, or 10 years after the initial license grant date.14 On June 4, 2008, TWG filed applications for an extension of time to demonstrate substantial service for its LMDS licenses.15 On June 13, 2008, the Bureau granted TWG an extension until June 1, 2012 to construct its LMDS licenses, resulting in a nearly four-year construction extension.16 The application was granted with a comment referring to a 2008 Bureau order where the Bureau granted extensions to other LMDS licensees.17 In the LMDS Order, the Bureau found that LMDS licensees faced factors beyond their control, including difficulties in obtaining viable and affordable equipment, that warranted an extension.18 In making this finding, the Bureau noted that the licensees seeking relief from the construction deadlines represented a majority of LMDS licensees for whom buildout requirements were approaching, and that they all faced these same basic obstacles to timely construction.19
