ExperimentalUnrecorded layers (ITU filings are not in this product; sub-lease stub)Not default Terminal

This block is quarantined from the default Slot Terminal. It is a labeled stub or simulation, not recorded public occupancy or FCC data, and it is not a market. ITU filings are not in this product.

Quarantined stubs. ITU filings are not in this product. ITU Space Explorer is the current ITU source. These rows reserve the rights-chain shape; they are not live filings or named lessees.
