	98-9518 -- U.S. West Inc. v. Federal Communications Comm. -- 08/18/1999 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		US West also contends that portion of the CPNI Order is "a gratuitously severe construction" of § 222.
		US West contends the CPNI Order "violates the First Amendment by requiring that carriers secure prior affirmative consents from customers before using individually-identifiable customer information to speak with their customers on an individualized basis about services beyond the 'categories' of telecommunications services to which they currently subscribe." US West's Opening Brief at 22.
		US West does not deny that the statute requires it to obtain informed consent from each of its customers regarding their individually identifiable CPNI.

	US Government Information Policy
		Various comments to the FCC in their recent docket on universal service reform indicated that the current structure of pricing in telephony is costing the US billions of dollars in deadweight losses, with very little impact on penetration rates for basic telephone service.
		The US and other developed countries employ a two-prong policy approach to competition policy: direct regulation of industries that are natural monopolies, such as local telephone exchange service, and broad rules of conduct to keep unregulated markets as competitive as possible given the scale economies they exhibit.
		The US will continue to be a strong net exporter of knowledge, both in the form of technical information such as patent licenses and computer software, and in the form of copyrighted entertainment materials, such as movies and books.

	US Emergency Alert System open to hack attack \| The Register
		The US Emergency Alert System (EAS) that lets officials instantly interrupt radio and TV broadcasts to provide emergency information in a crisis suffers from security holes that leave it vulnerable to denial of service attacks, and could even permit hackers to issue their own false regional alerts, federal regulators acknowledged Thursday.
		On Thursday, the FCC responded by opening a formal review of the EAS, beginning a public comment period on how the network might be improved.
		Under FCC regulations, unattended stations must automatically interrupt their broadcasts to forward alerts, making it possible for even blatantly false information to be forwarded without first passing human inspection.

		The US system was originally tested and passed for use with external antennas, and it apparently works well in rural areas.
		However, the response so far of the US Federal Communication Commission, which mandated the US standard, and the Advanced TV Standards Committee, which recommended the technology, is to wait and see whether receiver manufacturers can solve the reception problems in the next generation of DTV receivers.
		The FCC and ATSC are also waiting to see the results of tests later this month in Brazil, which will be choosing between the European and US systems for the country's planned digital terrestial TV service.

		Welcome to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the kickoff for the Federal Rural Wireless Outreach Initiative and the new partnership between USDA and the FCC.
		An important issue that the FCC has been facing between wireless and wireline carriers and incumbents and competitive entrants has been the issue of what is the role of universal service support when there are competing carriers.
		But in order for us in the United States to be able to fully recognize and take advantage of this growth, we must make certain that all Americans, those living in rural and in urban areas, are given the opportunity to participate in that growth.

	Doesn't the FCC Standard Protect Us?
		The FCC standard was originally intended to prevent interference between pieces of electronic equipment and was later modified to protect workers exposed to microwaves from heating effects (the only effects recognized at the time).
		Then, instead of saying that the meter output is 200,000 times lower than the FCC standard, we could point out that it’s ten thousand to ten million times higher than natural background radiation—which is what the human organism developed in.
		The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommended “against adopting the 1992 ANSI/IEEE standard because it has serious flaws that call into question whether its proposed use is sufficiently protective of public health and safety.”.

	Questions and Answers about Wireless Phones
		In fact, in order to be exposed to levels at or near the FCC limits for cellular or PCS frequencies an individual would essentially have to remain in the main transmitted radio signal (at the height of the antenna) and within a few feet from the antenna.
		The FCC does not have the resources or the personnel to routinely monitor the emissions for all the thousands of transmitters that are subject to FCC jurisdiction.
		However, the FCC does have measurement instrumentation for evaluating RF levels in areas that may be accessible to the public or to workers.

		In the United States, for example, FCC regulations only allow channels 1 to 11 to be used.
		Channels 10 and 11 are the only channels which work in all parts of the world, because Spain hasn't licensed channels 1 to 9 for 802.11b operation.
		In the US, a mid-2003 FCC decision may open more spectrum to 802.11a channels.

		The US Borders program determines the distance to the Canadian and Mexican borders and determines what region the user-specified coordinates reside as defined in Rule Section 90.619.
		Rule 90.617 defines a unique channel plan for the Chicago area that the FCC defines as stations with a 70-mile radius of 41° 52' 28"N and 87° 38' 22"W. This program alerts you if the entered coordinates are in proximity to a defined peak as defined in Rule Section 90.621.

	ANALYSIS of US West (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		If citizens filed a supporting suit directly against US West, then it would have eliminated the first amendment claim (you don't have a right to speak to someone who doesn't want to listen), and the fifth amendment one (citizens have more property rights to the CPNI than US West).
		The court automatically assumed the first amendment need for US West without considering whether consumers are interested in it or not.
		The commercial / appropriation element is even more acute as US West argued that the government violates the fifth amendment, "because CPNI represents valuable property that belongs to the carriers and the regulations greatly diminish its value." By this argument, US West assumes that it owns CPNI information.

	Emergency telephone number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first North American emergency number was the 999 system deployed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 1959.
		The first US 911 emergency phone system was set up in Alabama in 1968, but it was not in use everywhere until the 1970s.
		In the United States, the FCC requires networks to route every mobile-phone 911 call to an emergency service call center, including phones that have never had service, or whose service has lapsed.

		The FCC, in a May 13 decision released on June 4, said it upheld its International Bureau's previous order for US carriers to stop payments to their Philippine counterparts.
		The FCC denied the requests of Philippine and US carriers to reinstate Philippine telecom firms in its list of International Simple Resale or ISR, which is an alternative international direct dial service that uses facilities where the rates are cheaper than international direct dial calls.
		Globe and PLDT said that despite the FCC order, traffic between Philippine and US carriers continues and settlements are being made due to the interim agreements signed among the parties concerned.

	Forbes.com: US FCC upholds wireline to wireless number moves (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		A traditional land-line carrier must move a phone number to a wireless carrier as long as the areas they serve overlap, the number is not moved out of that geographic area and the move is technically feasible, the agency said.
		The FCC also said it would study whether to cut the time for land line providers to handle moves to other carriers -- presently four days.
		Starting Nov. 24, carriers in the top 100 U.S. markets will have to offer consumers the option to move numbers between wireless and wireline providers but the FCC gave a six-month reprieve for those companies outside the top markets.
