  • cellular carrier has sought to provide fixed service on an exclusive basis. 47 C.F.R. § 22.933. PCS licensees may provide any type of mobile or fixed service, excluding a broadcasting service. See 47 C.F.R. § 24.3. The Commission does require, however, that systems provide service to roaming subscribers in cases in which the technology is compatible. See 47 C.F.R. § 20.12(c). Some PCS systems even offer roaming on systems in Europe and other parts of the world. In the early 1980s, when the cellular technical compatibility rules were adopted, dual-mode or multiple-mode mobile telephones were thought to be prohibitively expensive.

However, AirTouch asserts that the Commission's bar against exclusivity does not apply to optional agreements. CMRS providers supporting AirTouch's petition argue that optional exclusivity agreements, which provide resellers the option of lower prices in return for greater commitments, are not prohibited by either Section 20.12 of the Commission's Rules or Sections 201 and 202 of the Act. Opposing parties argue that, because optional exclusivity agreements prohibit resellers who have not made such commitments from obtaining a price discount, such agreements effectively preclude competition with either AirTouch or with resellers that receive the exclusivity discount. 5.

In establishing new regulations for roaming arrangements among commercial mobile data service providers, today's order goes to great lengths to argue that authority is pursuant to, and consistent with, Title III of the Communications Act. New rule Section 20.12(e)(1) states that a facilities-based provider of commercial mobile data services is required to offer roaming arrangements on ``commercially reasonable'' terms and conditions. The rule also provides that service providers will have discretion to negotiate on an individualized basis and may reasonably choose not to offer roaming arrangements in certain circumstances.

  • Secretary APPENDIX Final Rules For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Federal Communications Commission amends 47 CFR parts 20 and 54 to read as follows: PART 20 -- COMMERCIAL MOBILE RADIO SERVICES The authority citation for Part 20 continues to read as follows: Authority: 47 U.S.C. 154, 160, 201, 251-254, 301, 303, 316, and 332 unless otherwise noted. Section 20.12 is also issued under 47 U.S.C. 1302. Section 20.11 is amended by revising paragraph (e) to read as follows: §20.11 Interconnection to facilities of local exchange carriers. * * * * * (e) An incumbent local exchange carrier may request interconnection from a commercial mobile radio service provider and invoke the negotiation and arbitration procedures contained in section 252 of

  • access to roaming services by eliminating the ``home roaming exclusion'' that had been adopted in the Report and Order. In particular, we found that the exclusion in many circumstances had discouraged facilities-based competition. The revised rule that we adopted provides that ``[u]pon a reasonable request, it shall be the duty of each host carrier subject to . . . [Section 20.12(a)(2) of our rules] . . . to provide automatic roaming to any technologically compatible, facilities-based CMRS carrier on reasonable and not unreasonably discriminatory terms and conditions, pursuant to Sections 201 and 202 of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. Sections 201 and 202.'' We affirmed that carriers must provide push-to-talk roaming upon reasonable request. We also provided additional guidance on various

  • of wireless broadband Internet access service is an ``information service'' and that data roaming service must be ``free from common carrier regulation.'' In establishing new regulations for roaming arrangements among commercial mobile data service providers, today's order goes to great lengths to argue that authority is pursuant to, and consistent with, Title III of the Communications Act. New rule Section 20.12(e)(1) states that a facilities-based provider of commercial mobile data services is required to offer roaming arrangements on ``commercially reasonable'' terms and conditions. The rule also provides that service providers will have discretion to negotiate on an individualized basis and may reasonably choose not to offer roaming arrangements in certain circumstances. The text of the order concludes that these mandates do

The Commission also declined to forbear from enforcing Section 20.12(b) of the Commission's rules, which requires broadband PCS, cellular, and covered specialized mobile radio (SMR) carriers to permit unrestricted resale of their services until five years after the last group of initial licenses for broadband PCS is awarded.

CMRS providers supporting AirTouch's petition argue that optional exclusivity agreements, which provide resellers the option of lower prices in return for greater commitments, are not prohibited by either Section 20.12 of the Commission's Rules or Sections 201 and 202 of the Act. Opposing parties argue that, because optional exclusivity agreements prohibit resellers who have not made such commitments from obtaining a price discount, such agreements effectively preclude competition with either AirTouch or with resellers that receive the exclusivity discount. 5.

In the order under review, the FCC extended the rule prohibiting restrictions on resale so that broadband personal communications services ("PCS") and certain wide-area specialized mobile radio ("SMR") carriers must also allow unrestricted resale of their services; the rule previously applied only to certain cellular providers. See 47 C.F.R. 20.12(b)[2]^(2); 47 C.F.R. 22.901(e) (former resale rule). SMR are commercially operated private communications systems that employ mobile transmitting and/or receiving stations.
