We request comment on this proposal, including whether the absence of call sign information on transmitting facilities associated with other WRS that are not subject to Part 22 has proved problematic to the public or other carriers in any way. Part 24 Power and Antenna Height Limits Section 24.232(a) of the Commission's rules contains, inter alia, power limitations for broadband PCS. Specifically, base stations are limited to 1640 watts peak EIRP with an antenna height up to 300 meters height above average terrain (HAAT) and base station transmitters are limited to 100 watts peak output power. When the Commission adopted the 100 watt transmitter power output limit in 1994,

Our action today is therefore consistent with our objective to harmonize our rules where possible across similar services. Peak vs. Average Radiated Power Limits Background. The Commission's PCS and AWS rules currently limit permissible radiated power on a peak basis. Section 24.232(a), for example, states that PCS ``[b]ase stations are limited to 1640 watts peak'' EIRP. Similarly, Section 27.50(d)(1) limits the peak EIRP of AWS base stations in the 2110-2155 MHz band to 1640 watts. CTIA urged in its proposal that we amend these rules and specify power limits on an average rather than peak basis. CTIA asserted that the ``peak'' terminology
