§ 22.946 Service commencement and construction systems.
(a) Commencement of service. New cellular systems must be at least
partially constructed and begin providing cellular service to
subscribers within the service commencement periods specified in Table
H-1 of this section. Service commencement periods begin on the date of
grant of the initial authorization, and are not extended by the grant
of subsequent authorizations for the cellular system (such as for major
modifications). The licensee must notify the FCC (FCC Form 601) after
the requirements of this section are met ( see § 1.946 of this
chapter).

providing service only if mobile stations can originate telephone calls
to and receive telephone calls from wireline telephones through the
PSTN.

period applicable to specific new or modified cellular facilities for
which a separate authorization is granted is one year, beginning on the
