How strange:
https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-18-157A1.pdf
"We seek comment on proposed rules for processing requests to provide new DBS
service to U.S. consumers. These rules would apply to any future request to
provide DBS service to the United States using the 12.2-12.7 GHz band
(space-to-Earth) and associated feeder links in the 17.3-17.8 GHz band
(Earth-to-space), including channels not currently licensed at orbit locations
assigned to the United States under the International Telecommunication Union
(ITU) Region 2 BSS and feeder-link Plans (Region 2 Plan), as well as DBS
service from space stations located at orbital locations not assigned to the
United States in the ITU Region 2 BSS and feeder-link Plans."
The FCC wants to retain the "first come, first served" basis for DBS
applicants, as before.
Seems a little bit like ATSC 3.0 broadcast. A lot of new work for anachronistic
delivery systems?
