We also seek comment on our proposal to eliminate or modify certain cellular anti-trafficking rules, specifically Sections 22.937, 22.943, and 22.945.

The Ninth Report and Order in the competitive bidding docket adopted final auction rules to enable the Commission to complete the licensing of Phase I and Phase II cellular unserved licenses.

The majority of these are unnecessary formatting requirements remaining from when numerous applications were filed
