Synopsis of the Public Notice
A. Introduction
1. On December 15, 1998, the Federal Communications Commission
(``Commission'') is scheduled to hold an auction for 528
multilateration Location and Monitoring Service (``LMS'') licenses to
operate in the 902-928 MHz band.
2. In a letter dated October 22, 1998, to the Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau (``Bureau''), MicroTraxTM
(``MicroTrax'') requested a temporary delay of the LMS auction.
MicroTrax contends that a six-month delay will allow it, ``and possibly
other similarly situated companies, much needed time to organize and
fully participate in the LMS auction.'' MicroTrax further contends that
absent such a delay, it will not be able to participate in the LMS
auction.
3. To assist the Bureau in making recommendations to the
Commission, the Bureau seeks comment on all aspects and each of the
concerns raised in the request for temporary delay from MicroTrax.
Comments are due November 2, 1998.
Federal Communications Commission.
Amy Zoslov,
Chief, Auctions and Industry Analysis Division, Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau.
