    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'').
