§ 22.907   Coordination of channel usage.

   Licensees in the Cellular Radiotelephone Service must coordinate, with the
   appropriate parties, channel usage at each transmitter location within 121
   kilometers (75 miles) of any transmitter locations authorized to other
   licensees or proposed by tentative selectees or other applicants, except
   those with mutually exclusive applications.

   (a)  Licensees  must  cooperate and make reasonable efforts to resolve
   technical problems that may inhibit effective and efficient use of the
   cellular radio spectrum; however, licensees are not obligated to suggest
   extensive  changes  to  or redesign other licensees' cellular systems.
   Licensees must make reasonable efforts to avoid blocking the growth of other
   cellular systems that are likely to need additional capacity in the future.

   (b)  If  technical problems are addressed by an agreement or operating
   agreement between the licensees that would result in a reduction of quality
   or capacity of either system, the licensees must notify the Commission by
   updating FCC Form 601.
