In order to facilitate flexible use of the 28 GHz band for terrestrial services, ISED is proposing the following changes to the Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations (CTFA): MOD C47A: In the frequency band 27.35-28.35 27.5 GHz, use of spectrum for fixed service systems will be given priority over fixed-satellite service systems sharing this spectrum on a co- primary basis. [...] Question 6-1: ISED is seeking comments on the changes proposed above to introduce flexible use licensing in the 28 GHz band, including consequential changes to the CTFA domestic footnotes and the policy on this band contained in SP 3-30 GHz, Revisions to Spectrum Utilization Policies in the 3-30 GHz Frequency Range and Further Consultation. [...] As a result of the considerations and potential changes raised in this consultation, ISED is now placing a moratorium on issuing new site-specific fixed service licences in the 28 GHz band under the New Licensing Framework for the 24, 28 and 38 GHz Bands and Decision on a Licence Renewal Process for the 24 and 38 GHz Bands. [...] Currently, the operation of fixed earth stations in Canada is authorized by means of radio licences as described in CPC 2-6-01, Procedure for the Submission of Applications to License Fixed Earth Stations and to Approve the Use of Foreign Satellites in Canada. [...] In addition, noting the new Canadian footnote C47C that would limit the deployment of FSS systems in the band to applications which will pose minimal constraints upon the deployment of fixed and mobile service systems, ISED is considering whether there is a need to prescribe specific rules to limit the growth of FSS earth stations in core urban areas and near major infrastructure where the deploym
