5 How the Table refers to services
(1) A primary service in a frequency band mentioned in column 2 of the Table is described by:
(a) an expression in upper case letters; and
(b) any related footnote reference.
MOBILE.
(2) If the expression is followed by words in lower case letters that describe a limitation, the primary service is limited in the manner described in the limitation.
MOBILE except aeronautical mobile (R).
This means that an aeronautical mobile (R) service is not part of the primary MOBILE service.
(3) A secondary service in a frequency band mentioned in column 2 of the Table is described by:
(a) an expression in lower case letters other than:
(i) a limitation to a primary service; or
(ii) words in parentheses describing an operational restriction, as mentioned in subsection (5); and
(b) any related footnote reference.
Mobile.
(4) If the expression is followed by words in lower case letters that describe a limitation, the secondary service is limited in the manner described in the limitation.
Mobile except aeronautical mobile (R).
This means that an aeronautical mobile (R) service is not part of the secondary mobile service.
Note Services are listed in the Table in an order consistent with the Radio Regulations. They are not listed to suggest any order of priority.
(5) If a reference to a primary or secondary service in column 2 of the Table is immediately followed by words in parentheses describing an operational restriction, the service is restricted accordingly.
