TITLE 47—TELECOMMUNICATIONS
§ 344
affidavit with the Commission 30 months after
such status was granted stating that, to the best
of the affiant’s knowledge, it is in compliance
with the requirements for a qualified carrier.
(e) Definitions
For the purposes of this section:
(1) Designated market area
The term ‘‘designated market area’’ has the
meaning given such term in section 122(j)(2)(C)
of title 17.
(2) Good quality satellite signal
(A) In general
The term ‘‘good quality satellite signal’’
means—
(i) a satellite signal whose power level as
designed shall achieve reception and de-
modulation of the signal at an availability
level of at least 99.7 percent using—
(I) models of satellite antennas nor-
mally used by the satellite carrier’s sub-
scribers; and
(II) the same calculation methodology
used by the satellite carrier to deter-
mine predicted signal availability in the
top 100 designated market areas; and
(ii) taking into account whether a signal
is in standard definition format or high
definition format, compression method-
ology, modulation, error correction, power
level, and utilization of advances in tech-
nology that do not circumvent the intent
of this section to provide for non-discrimi-
natory treatment with respect to any com-
parable television broadcast station sig-
nal, a video signal transmitted by a sat-
ellite carrier such that—
(I) the satellite carrier treats all tele-
vision broadcast stations’ signals the
same
with
respect
to
statistical
multiplexer prioritization; and
(II) the number of video signals in the
relevant satellite transponder is not
more than the then current greatest
number of video signals carried on any
equivalent transponder serving the top
100 designated market areas.
