§  101.1423   Canadian and Mexican coordination.

   Pursuant to §  2.301 of this chapter, MVDDS systems in the United
   States within 56 km (35 miles) of the Canadian and Mexican border will
   be granted conditional licenses, until final international agreements
   are approved. These systems may not cause harmful interference to
   stations in Canada or Mexico. MVDDS stations must comply with the
   procedures outlined under § §  101.147(p) and 1.928(f)(1) and (f)(2) of
   this chapter until final international agreements concerning MVDDS are
   signed. Section 1.928(f) of this chapter states that transmitting
   antennas can be located as close as five miles (eight kilometers) of
   the border if they point within a sector of 160 degrees away from the
   border, and as close as thirty-five miles (fifty-six km) of the border
   if they point within a sector of 200 degrees toward the border without
   coordination with Canada. MVDDS licensees shall apply this method near
   the Canadian and Mexican borders. No stations are allowed within 5
   miles of the borders.
