Sec. 90.490  One-way paging operations in the private services.

    (a) Subject to specific prohibition or restriction by rule 
provisions governing the radio service in which a licensee's radio 
system is authorized, paging operations are permitted:
    (1) Where the signals and messages are transmitted by a control 
operator of the licensee stationed at a licensed control point in the 
licensee's system of communication.
    (2) Where the signals and messages are transmitted from an operating 
position within an internal system of communication which meets the 
tests of Secs. 90.471 through 90.475.
    (3) Where the signals and messages are transmitted from a dispatch 
point within the licensee's system of communication, as defined as 
Sec. 90.7.
    (b) Systems employing dial-up circuits (Sec. 90.461(c)) may be used 
in one-way paging operations, but only where the paging signals are 
transmitted as provided at paragraph (a)(1) of this section.

    (c) Paging may be initiated directly from telephone positions in the 
public switched telephone network. When land stations are multiple 
licensed or otherwise shared by authorized users, arrangements for the 
telephone service must be made with a duly authorized carrier by users, 
licensees, or their authorized agents on a non-profit, cost-shared 
basis. When telephone service costs are shared, at least one licensee 
participating in the cost sharing arrangements must maintain cost 
sharing records and the costs must be distributed at least once a year. 
Licensees, users, or their authorized agents may also make joint use 
arrangements with a duly authorized carrier and arrange that each 
licensee or user pay the carrier directly for the licensee's or user's 
share of the joint use of the shared telephone service. A report of the 
cost distribution must be placed in the licensee's station records and 
made available to participants in the sharing arrangement and the 
Commission upon request. In all cases, arrangements with the duly 
authorized carrier must disclose the number of licensees and users and 
the nature of the use.
