The Commission is instituting this
rulemaking to determine whether, and if so how, to amend its rules
to promote the ability of MDS and ITFS licensees to provide two-way
digital services. The objective of this proceeding is to encourage

greater flexibility in the use of the allotted spectrum where such
flexibility would best serve the needs of the public.
