AT&T and Sirius XM have filed with the FCC a joint proposal recommending rules that address interference issues between Wireless Communications Service (WCS) and Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS) to allow for the future deployment of LTE in the 2.3 GHz WCS band.? The joint proposal recommends that the FCC adopt rules to permit WCS licensees to operate mobile systems in the WCS A and B Blocks and designate the WCS C and D Blocks as guard bands.? The guard bands will protect incumbent satellite radio services from harmful interference from WCS operations.? AT&T also submitted a separate filing with the FCC requesting that the build-out deadlines for WCS operations be extended to provide time for licensees to deploy FDD-LTE broadband mobile services in the A and B blocks once the FCC adopts the Sirius/AT&T proposal.? Under the FCC?s current rules, the construction deadline for WCS is March 4, 2014.? AT&T proposes that the Commission require coverage of 40 percent of the population in an A or B Block license area within four years?from the effective date of the revised rules and 75 percent of the population within ten years from the effective date of the revised rules.? AT&T also suggests that due to the strict limitations placed on C and D Block licensees, the FCC should impose a traditional ?substantial service? requirement during the renewal period of C and D Block licenses.
