Wireless Telecommunications Services; Commercial Mobile Radio Service

This Order terminates the Commission's inquiry into the imposition of equal access requirements on commercial mobile radio services (CMRS) providers. In light of recent amendments to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, the Commission now finds that it no longer has the authority to require CMRS providers to offer equal access to common carriers for the provision of telephone toll services, and although the Commission is authorized in certain circumstances to prescribe regulations to afford subscribers unblocked access to the provider of telephone toll services of the subscribers' choice, the record does not establish a need for such a prescription at this time. The Order terminates further inquiry into these two aspects of the instant proceeding. The Order does not affect the status of the Commission's inquiry into related issues in this or other proceedings, including CMRS resale, roaming, and interconnection.
