  • Glazier: This letter responds to your filing of February 20, 2002, "Request for Clarification & Rulemaking" (CDI Petition). You request, on behalf of Cellular Directory Information, Inc. (CDI), that the Commission: (1) clarify that wireless carriers are classified as local exchange carriers (LECs) or initiate a rulemaking to include wireless carriers as LECs for the purpose of 47 C.F.R. § 51.217 obligations; and (2) enter a ruling directing wireless telephone companies to provide their subscriber records for use in a wireless directory service. We find that Commission precedent is clear that commercial mobile radio services (CMRS) provided by wireless carriers are not LEC offerings subject to section 51.217 under the existing rules, and we therefore deny the CDI Petition in part.
