Abstract: On February 15, 2012, Federal Communications Commission ("Commission") adopted and released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in WT Docket No. 12-40; FCC 12-20, to amend Parts 1 and 22 of the Commission's rules to change the licensing model for the 800 MHz Cellular Radiotelephone ("Cellular") Service from site-based to geographic-based, and to delete obsolete provisions associated with the legacy site-based regime. Subsequently, on November 7, 2014, the Commission adopted a Report and Order ("R&O") in that same proceeding (WT Docket No. 12-40; FCC 14-181). The revised Cellular Service licensing model adopted in the R&O eliminates certain filing requirements that have outlived their usefulness in this mature commercial wireless service that was launched in the early 1980s; it also streamlines application content requirements and certain other filing requirements that remain in place, reflecting technological changes and increased competition among Cellular Service providers, and deletes obsolete provisions associated with the legacy site-based regime.
