	Smart Computing Encyclopedia Entry - Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service (MMDS) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		MMDS (sometimes called Multipoint Microwave Distribution System), known as wireless cable, is a broadcasting and communications service that operates in the UHF (ultra high frequency) portion of the radio spectrum between 2.1GHz and 2.7GHz.
		Developed as a substitute for conventional cable television, it can also be used for telephone, fax, and data communications; for example, an MMDS network provides high-speed Internet access, telephone, fax, and television all simultaneously without the limitations and restrictions of cables.
		Narrowband channels were originally planned for the educational environment, or the wireless classrooms, and have been moderately successful, although most viewers prefer satellite television services because they offer more channels.

	Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Multichannel multipoint distribution service, also known as MMDS or Wireless Cable, is a wireless telecommunications technology, used for general-purpose broadband networking or, more commonly, as an alternative method of cable television programming reception.
		In the United States the Wireless Cable services never materialized, in large part due to investment scams by popular radio talk-show hosts, and the fact that ATSC digital television would fill the needs envisioned for MMDS.
		Chorus still broadcast 11-channel analogue MMDS in some areas, though with their recent acquisition by Liberty Global Europe (along with NTL Ireland), it is quite likely their systems will be merged and after suitable upgrading the analogue services will be dropped and be replaced by the DVB-C systems used elsewhere.

		Section 21.2 is amended by revising the definitions of "Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service," "Multipoint Distribution Service," "Multipoint Distribution Service response station" and "signal booster station," and by adding definitions for "booster service area," "channel," "response station hub," "response station hub license" and "sectorization," to read as follows: 21.2 Definitions.
		The booster service area must be specified by the applicant so as to not overlap the booster service area of any other booster authorized to or proposed by the applicant.
		When service is provided on a non-common carrier basis, transmissions may include information originated by persons other than the licensee, licensee-manipulated information supplied by other persons, or information originated by the licensee.

	MMDS
		Multichannel Multipoint Distribution System This is a carrier service, initially intended for broadcast of television, and is commonly referred to as wireless cable.
		MMDS service is usually analog and one way (transmit only), with a range of about 30 miles (50 km), and has been deployed in the United States, the Middle East, Latin America, eastern Europe, and the Asia Pacific area.
		Meanwhile, the FCC is in the process of relaxing rules to allow two way use of the band, which will facilitate data services.

	FCC Memo
		Although the Commission tentatively concluded that the modified rule satisfactorily implemented Section 207 with regard to governmental restrictions on reception of DBS service, because the revised rule was proposed prior to passage of the 1996 Act, the Commission sought further comment on the impact of the legislation.
		As DBS service providers design their systems to comply with the Commission's requirement to serve Alaska, it may be possible to use smaller antennas that are closer to the size used in other parts of the country, and the need for thisexemption may be obviated.
		Cable service, for example, is defined in part as the one-way transmission of video programming or other programming service together with the capability for subscriber interaction that might be required for the selection of use of such video programming or other programming service.

	Summary of 3-02-00 Roundtable Discussion
		Multichannel multipoint distribution service (MMDS) technology is a successful way to re-transmit local broadcast signals to underserved and unserved areas, according to Brick.
		The economic return for providing local-into-local service is determined by the number of satellite subscribers in the particular market and the monthly fee for the local-into-local service.
		Carey said that government-subsidized service could jeopardize small cable operators that must compete for capital, added he is concerned that any government initiative not undermine these investments.

		Receiving video programming from any of these services requires use of an antenna, and the installation, maintenance or use of these antennas may be restricted by local governments or community associations.
		Any requirement to pay a fee to the local authority in order to be allowed to install an antenna would be unreasonable, unless it is a permit fee that is needed to serve safety or historic preservation or a permit is required in the case of installation on a mast greater than 12 feet.
		Some assistance may also be available from the direct broadcast satellite company, multichannel multipoint distribution service or television broadcast station whose service is desired.

	FCC Fact Sheet on Placement of Antennas
		It is recommended that antennas that both receive and transmit signals be installed by professional personnel to maximize effectiveness and minimize the possibility that the antenna will be placed in a location that is likely to expose subscribers or other persons to the transmit signal at close proximity and for an extended period of time.
		Further, an individual who wants video programming or fixed wireless services other than what is available through the central antenna should not be unreasonably delayed in obtaining the desired programming or services either through modifications to the central antenna, installation of an additional central antenna, or by using an individual antenna.
		Generally, the "proof of service" is a statement indicating that on the same day that your petition was sent to the Commission, you provided a copy of your petition (and any attachments) to the person or entity that is seeking to enforce the antenna restriction.
