Allows a carrier to opt out of that requirement by notifying the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that the carrier will cease to obtain universal service support for the provision of services for such areas.

Prohibits construing this Act as prescribing particular rates for the provision of automatic roaming services.

Gives "automatic roaming" the meaning given it in FCC regulations.
