Sec. 22.901 Cellular service requirements and limitations.
The licensee of each cellular system is responsible for ensuring that its
cellular system operates in compliance with this section.
(a) Each cellular system must provide either mobile service, fixed service,
or a combination of mobile and fixed service, subject to the requirements,
limitations and exceptions in this section. Mobile service provided may be
of any type, including two way radiotelephone, dispatch, one way or two way
paging, and personal communications services (as defined in part 24 of this
chapter). Fixed service is considered to be primary service, as is mobile
service. When both mobile and fixed service are provided, they are
considered to be co primary services. In providing cellular services, each
cellular system may incorporate any technology that meets all applicable
technical requirements in this part.
(b) Until February 18, 2008, each cellular system that provides two-way
cellular mobile radiotelephone service must—
(1) Maintain the capability to provide compatible analog service (“AMPS”) to
cellular telephones designed in conformance with the specifications
contained in sections 1 and 2 of the standard document ANSI
TIA/EIA–553–A–1999 Mobile Station—Base Station Compatibility Standard
(approved October 14, 1999); or, the corresponding portions, applicable to
mobile stations, of whichever of the predecessor standard documents was in
effect at the time of the manufacture of the telephone. This incorporation
by reference was approved by the Director of the Federal Register in
accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51. Copies of the standard
may be purchased from Global Engineering Documents, 15 Inverness Way East,
Englewood, CO 80112–5704 (or via the internet at http://global.ihs.com) .
Copies are available for inspection at the Federal Communications
Commission, 445 12th Street, SW, Washington, DC 20554, or at the National
Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For information on the
availability of this material at NARA, call 202–741–6030, or go to:

ations.html.
(2) Provide AMPS, upon request, to subscribers and roamers using such
cellular telephones while such subscribers are located in any portion of the
cellular system's CGSA where facilities have been constructed and service to
subscribers has commenced. See also Sec. 20.12 of this chapter. Cellular
licensees must allot sufficient system resources such that the quality of
AMPS provided, in terms of geographic coverage and traffic capacity, is
fully adequate to satisfy the concurrent need for AMPS availability.
