Prior to the adoption of geographic licensing in 1997, non-nationwide and exclusive channels licenses were granted
on a site-by-site basis. Since 1997, non-nationwide, exclusive paging licenses have been assigned on the basis of
Economic Areas (EAs) and Major Economic Areas (MEAs). In 1997, 25 nationwide geographic licenses were awarded.
Shared channel licenses continue to be granted on a site-by-site basis.
