RADIOCOMMUNICATION ACT

Notice No. DGTP-009-01 — Consultation on an Application to Use Mobile Satellite Spectrum to Provide Complementary Terrestrial Mobile Service to Improve Satellite Coverage

The Department has received an application from TMI Communications and Company, Limited Partnership (TMI) for approval of a joint venture with Motient Corporation, an American corporation, to develop and operate a new generation of multi-beam mobile satellites using part of the L-band (1 525-1 559/ 1 626.5-1 660.5 MHz) to replace the MSAT satellite. This notice announces the release of a consultation paper inviting comments on a particular aspect of TMI's application, namely the proposal to deploy a digital terrestrial mobile service, as in-fill or complementary service, to the mobile satellite service.

The terrestrial component, which would be implemented in conjunction with the deployment of the next generation of satellites, would extend the service in urban areas where the satellite coverage may be blocked by high-rise buildings. The first of two satellites is planned to be in operation in about four years after the approvals have been granted by the Canadian and American regulators.

Invitation to Comment

The Department of Industry invites submissions, preferably in electronic format, from all interested parties on the issues raised for comments in the consultation paper. This document is available electronically at the following address:
