The Commission adopted restrictions on use of the Inmarsat system for aeronautical services in the U.S. in Aeronautical Services Order II. In a Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making (FNPRM), the Commission is examining the prior restrictions and seeking comment on alternative arrangements. In the FNPRM the Commission proposed to establish the scope of permissible uses of Inmarsat aeronautical services in the United States. The Commission has generally promoted competition in satellite communications in both the international and U.S. domestic markets. Due to spectrum availability constraints in the L-band it was necessary to propose limits on the use of Inmarsat aeronautical services in the United States. The spectrum in which mobile satellite services (MSS) will operate is limited and appears insufficient to meet the stated spectrum requirements for the North American coverage area for American Mobile Satellite Corporation, Inmarsat and three other countries developing MSS systems--Canada, Mexico and Russia. In the future, the Commission may permit entry by Inmarsat into the U.S. domestic aeronautical market--but not until the U.S. has ensured sufficient spectrum for domestic needs without interference to communications links. The intended effect of this proceeding is to establish the manner in which Inmarsat aeronautical services will be available in the U.S. consistent with competition policies and spectrum availability.
