Synopsis
[top] On June 17, 2020, PSSI Global Services, LLC (PSSI) filed a Request for Stay Pending Judicial Review of the Commission's Report and Order and Order of Proposed Modification in the above-captioned proceeding. PSSI asked the Commission to stay the C-band auction and transition process while its challenges to the 3.7 GHz Report and Order are pending before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. In its Stay Request, PSSI argues that the 3.7 GHz Report and
The Commission denies the Stay Request. First, PSSI has not shown that it will suffer irreparable harm. The harm that PSSI alleges is not imminent, is conjectural, and consists of economic injuries that are not severe enough to be cognizable as irreparable harm. Second, PSSI has not shown a likelihood of success on the merits. The Commission addressed PSSI's principal arguments at length in the 3.7 GHz Report and Order. The Stay Request does not persuade the Commission that the PSSI's arguments are likely to succeed in court any more than they did before the agency. Third, PSSI has not shown that the equities favor a stay. PSSI has not met its burden of showing that the public interest militates in favor of a stay and that others would not be harmed by a stay. Moreover, PSSI has not shown that the public interest would favor grant of the stay. The Commission's actions to repurpose the C-band are an indispensable element of its overall strategy of promoting the deployment of fifth generation (5G) wireless services, with millions of jobs, and billions of dollars in economic growth and other public benefits, at stake. Grant of a stay pending judicial review would significantly delay the auction and transition process and harm multiple stakeholders, including prospective bidders and the diverse incumbents involved in the transition process. The cost of such delay and disruption could be enormous. In addition to the public interest harms, grant of a stay would undercut the specific goal of U.S. leadership in 5G and the general goals of the auction program. Accordingly, we conclude that a stay of the Order and Order and Proposed Modification Pending Judicial Review is not warranted.
Federal Communications Commission.
