IBFS Integration (325(c) and International Broadcast Stations)

REC released a new release for FCCdata which is starting to integrate data from the International Bureau's filing system. This will allow you to look at 325(c) requests for the delivery of programming to foreign stations (Mexico), you will be able to pull up the Mexican facility on the USA tab of FCCdata in order to view the 325(c) data with links back to the International Bureau. This release also has allowed us to properly list domestic International Broadcast Stations (shortwave). These stations used to be handled by the Media Bureau before the days of CDBS and many of the records of those stations had carried over during the 1999 conversion from the BAPS to the CDBS database. We have now merged International Bureau data with that. We have also incorporated data from the HFCC (an international organization) to provide current frequency schedules for these stations.
