On June 13, 202, the Commission
released a Report and Order, In the matter of Policies and rules
for the direct Broadcast Satellite ("DBS") Service; IB Docket No.
98-21, FCC 02-10. The Report and Order modifies DBS regulation to
more closely reflect the regulation of other satellite services,
moves the rules for DBS to Part 25 of the Commission's rules and
eliminates part 100 of the Commission's rules. These revisions are
intended to simplify the procedures applicable to DBS, eliminate
unneccesary filing requirements, and harmonize the DBS licensing
process with that of other satelite services.
