§ 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.
