SEPARATE STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER HAROLD FURCHTGOTT-ROTH
                      Dissenting in Part
            
  Re: Amendment of Section 2.106 of the Commission's Rules to Allocate Spectrum at 2
  GHz for Use by the Mobile-Satellite Service ET Docket No. 95-18; FCC 00-233 (rel. July
  3, 2000)
  
       In the recent 18 GHz Report and Order, I set forth some proposals for modifying
  the Commission's relocation policy.   Those proposals are equally relevant here.  The
  potentially extensive spectrum needs of the 2 GHz satellite community may require
  extensive relocation in both the up- and down-links.  The multitude of transactions that
  will be necessary before satellite service can be offered cries out for clear, efficient, and
  predictable relocation procedures and policies.  Thus I continue to urge my colleagues to
  explore other relocation policy options, such as those described in my prior Separate
  Statement.  Based on these concerns, I respectfully dissent in part from the relocation
  policy portion of this item.
