In the Biennial Review Report, we agreed with the staff's recommendation that pursuant to Section 11, we should initiate a rulemaking proceeding to identify and address potentially outdated technical rules governing cellular service. Therefore, in this Notice, we seek comment on whether to modify or eliminate the following rules: General cellular service requirements and limitations (Section 22.901). The Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS) analog cellular compatibility standard (Sections 22.901 and 22.933). Manufacturing design requirements governing the security of electronic serial numbers (ESNs) in cellular telephones (Section 22.919). Cellular channelization rules (Section 22.905). Cellular analog modulation requirements and out-of-band emission limitations (Sections 22.915 and 22.917). We also propose greater flexibility in our out-of-band emission rules for broadband Personal

BACKGROUND In 2002, the Commission concluded that it was unnecessary to continue indefinitely the requirement in Section 22.901(b), that cellular licensees provide analog service to subscribers and roamers whose mobile equipment conforms to the AMPS standard. The Commission found that the AMPS requirement had substantially achieved the Commission's original goals of ensuring public access to nationwide service (roaming), and low-cost handsets. The Commission, however, adopted a 5-year transition period ending on the fifth anniversary of the effective date

  • Communications Commission made significant modifications to Part 22 of its rules that cover the Cellular Radiotelephone and other services. The Commission modified or eliminated various rules that have become outdated due to supervening rules, technological change, or increased competition among providers of Commercial Mobile Radio Services (CMRS). Among the rule changes adopted by the Commission is the amendment of sections 22.901 and 22.933 of FCC rules to modify the requirement that cellular carriers provide analog service compatible with Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS) specifications by establishing a five-year transition period after which the analog standard will not be required, but may still be provided. Background: The Commission has undertaken this review as directed by section 11 of the Communications Act of

AICC states that by issuing a public notice seeking comment on the Petition pursuant to Section 1.403, the Commission (in this case, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau) has already determined that the Petition meets the threshold requirements of Section 1.401. AICC further argues that because Section 22.901(a) requires cellular carriers to offer fixed and mobile services on a co-primary basis, the Section 22.901(b) analog service requirement, when read in that context, logically applies to fixed analog alarm services. It is well settled that ``the Commission has broad authority and discretion to implement, revise or retain policies if doing so advances the public interest.'' And, as noted in

We further note that cellular partitionees and disaggregatees generally are responsible for complying with the technical and operational rules established for original cellular licensees. For example, section 22.901(d) establishes an analog compatibility standard that the original licensee must satisfy, which allows cellular subscribers to use their mobile phones when roaming on other cellular networks. Thus, a cellular partitionee or disaggregatee that is providing mobile service must comply with this requirement. B. Related Matters 17.
