| (c) | The basic channels can be aggregated to form higher bandwidth channels. |
| (2) | The E-Band is segmented as follows: |
| (a) | A self-coordination block, 73.375 - 75.875 GHz paired with 83.375 - 85.875 GHz which shall be referred to as Block A; and |
| (b) | A block coordinated fully licensed by the Authority, 71.125 - 73.125 GHz paired with 81.125 - 83.125 GHz which shall be referred to as Block B. |
| (3) | The use of Block A shall be in the following manner: |
