94. In the Notice, we discussed the possibility of satellite DARS providers offering non-DARS, or ancillary, services. We sought comment on what restrictions, if any, should apply to such services and on how to monitor compliance with any restrictions.

The applicants have proposed a mix of ancillary services. We agree with the commenters who argue that allowing flexibility consistent with the allocation will allow providers to tailor service offerings to meet consumer needs. Because the United States successfully obtained an international allocation for satellite DARS at WARC-92, we would be concerned about any use of the spectrum that is inconsistent with the international allocation.
