Telesat Canada filed a Petition for Declaratory Ruling requesting the FCC declare that the Ka-band portion of Anik F2 is two-degree compliant, so that the noninterference condition that was previously imposed on the satellite's Ka-band U.S. operations in the 19.7 -20.2 GHz band and the 29.5-30.0 GHz band can be removed and no similar condition be imposed on its operations in other portions of the Ka-band. It also ask the FCC to declare use of the Anik F2 capacity in the 18.3-18.3, 28.35-28.6, and 29.25-29.5 GHz frequency bands comply with the Commission's market access policies. For information on this filing and filings by Lockheed Martin Corporation related to its global radio-navigation satellite service network, see FCC Report SAT-00254.
