FCC Streamlines Paperwork Requirements for Mobile Services

Federal Communications Commission press release -------- The FCC today continued its efforts to remove outdated or unnecessary provisions of its rules and streamline paperwork requirements for certain wireless services. The Report and Order adopted today allows licensees to identify the nature and regulatory treatment of its mobile services based on how it uses spectrum, rather than based on the specific spectrum band used to provide such service. The item eliminates an outdated and incomplete list of certain services meeting the statutory definition of commercial mobile radio service and eliminates unnecessary filings that some licensees must make to use spectrum for private mobile radio services. It also harmonizes the Commission’s licensing rules across spectrum bands, removing rules that apply to some bands but not to others. To learn more click on the picture below to read the release.
