through July 10, 2000 filing window for MDS and ITFS applications for 
two-way operations. The new filing window will begin August 14, 2000 
and end August 18, 2000. However, in order to permit commercial 
operators to fulfill their business plans which were created in 
reliance upon the timelines set forth in previous Commission Orders and 
Public Notice, the Commission will permit MDS operators, starting July 
3, 2000, to file applications for two-way authority for Channels 1, 2 
and 2a upstream. Such commercial applicants should have consents for 
downstream transmissions from all affected parties. In addition, we 
will permit ITFS operators the opportunity to file for developmental 
authority to begin two-way service.
