On June 15, 2007, the Federal Communications Commission
(``Commission''), adopted and released a Memorandum Opinion and Order
(MO&O) in FCC 07-103. In the MO&O, the Commission denied a petition for
rulemaking to extend the requirement that all cellular radiotelephone
licensees provide analog service to subscribers and roamers whose
equipment conforms to the Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS)
standard. This requirement will sunset on February 18, 2008. In the
MO&O, the Commission also directed cellular radiotelephone service
licensees to notify their remaining analog subscribers of the sunset
date and of their intention to discontinue AMPS-compatible analog
service at least four months before such discontinuance, and a second
time, at least 30 days before such discontinuance (the ``consumer-
notice requirement'').
