Streszczenie

In this Report and Order (Order), the Commission eliminates rules that prohibit wireline telephone carriers from holding licenses in the Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR) service and the commercial 220- 222 MHz land mobile band. The Order also eliminates the prohibition on the provision of dispatch service by cellular licensees, other licensees in the Public Mobile Services, and licensees in the Personal Communications Services (PCS). After reviewing the record, the Commission finds that these restrictions no longer serve the public interest and should be eliminated.
