§  80.701   Scope of service.

   There are two classes of Alaska Fixed stations. Alaska-public fixed
   stations are common carriers, open to public correspondence, which
   operate on the paired duplex channels listed in subpart H of this part.
   Alaska-private fixed stations may operate on simplex frequencies listed
   in subpart H of this part to communicate with other Alaska private
   fixed stations or with ship stations, and on duplex frequencies listed
   in subpart H of this part when communicating with the Alaska-public
   fixed stations. Alaska-private fixed stations must not charge for
   service, although third party traffic may be transmitted. Only
   Alaska-public fixed stations are authorized to charge for communication
   services.
