Commercial Mobile Radio Services; Connecticut State Petition to Retain Regulatory Control of Rates of Wholesale Cellular Service Providers

概要

The amendments to the Communications Act in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 preempted state rate and entry regulation of commercial mobile radio services. States were given the opportunity to file petitions for the authority to continue regulating these intrastate rates. This Order extends the deadlines for reply comments in this proceeding in response to a request filed by Richard Blumenthal, Attorney General of the State of Connecticut, the Connecticut Office of Consumer Counsel, Connecticut Telephone and Communication Systems, Inc. and Connecticut Mobilecom, Inc. This extension will provide interested parties enough time to complete their review and submit meaningful replies on the issues we raised in this proceeding.
