Sec. 90.769 Construction and implementation of Phase II nationwide licenses.
(a) A nationwide licensee must construct a sufficient number of base
stations (i.e., base stations for land mobile and/or paging operations) to
provide coverage to a composite area of at least 750,000 square kilometers
or 37.5 percent of the United States population within five years of the
issuance of its initial license and a composite area of at least 1,500,000
square kilometers or 75 percent of the United States population within ten
years of the issuance of its initial license. Licensees may, in the
alternative, provide substantial service to their licensed areas at the
appropriate five- and ten-year benchmarks.
(b) Licensees must notify the Commission in accordance with Sec. 1.946 of this
chapter of compliance with the Construction requirements of paragraph (a) of
this section.
(c) Failure by a nationwide licensee to meet the construction requirements
of paragraph (a) of this section, as applicable, will result in automatic
cancellation of its entire nationwide license. In such instances, nationwide
licenses will not be converted to individual, site-by-site authorizations
for already constructed stations.
(d) Nationwide licensees will not be required to construct and place in
operation, or commence service on, all of their authorized channels at all
of their base stations or fixed stations.
