See 47 C.F.R. § 52.31(a)(2). Thus, CMRS carriers outside the largest 100 MSAs will be required to make certain LNP-related changes to their networks to support roaming even if they do not receive a request to provide LNP to customers in their home market. These changes, however, are not as extensive as those that would be required to implement LNP for their own customers, or

We note that the Pennsylvania Commission recognizes that the wireless industry has the expertise to decide technical issues with respect to implementation of wireless LNP. The wireless industry submits monthly reports to the NANC on the status of the industry's number portability efforts. In addition, under section 52.31(e) of the Commission's rules, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau) has the authority to establish direct reporting requirements if the Bureau considers such requirements necessary to monitor the progress of CMRS providers in implementing number portability. Moreover, under section 52.31(e), the Bureau may direct carriers to take any actions necessary to ensure compliance with the deployment schedule. Accordingly, we believe that

The Commission's number portability rules impose on carriers an obligation to port numbers to other carriers upon receipt of a valid request to do so. Specifically, section 52.31 of the rules provides that, by the implementation deadline, ``CMRS providers must provide a long term database method for number portability, including the ability to support roaming ... in switches for which another carrier has made a specific request for the provision of number portability....''

As discussed below, the CMRS LNP requirements for the largest 100 MSAs also require covered CMRS carriers outside the largest 100 MSAs to support roaming by CMRS customers from the largest 100 markets that use ported numbers. See 47 C.F.R. § 52.31(a)(2). Thus, CMRS carriers outside the largest 100 MSAs will be required to make certain LNP-related changes to their networks to support roaming even if they do not receive a request to provide LNP to customers in their home market. These changes, however, are not as extensive as those that would be required to implement LNP for their own customers, or

We note that the Pennsylvania Commission recognizes that the wireless industry has the expertise to decide technical issues with respect to implementation of wireless LNP. The wireless industry submits monthly reports to the NANC on the status of the industry's number portability efforts. In addition, under section 52.31(e) of the Commission's rules, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau) has the authority to establish direct reporting requirements if the Bureau considers such requirements necessary to monitor the progress of CMRS providers in implementing number portability. Moreover, under section 52.31(e), the Bureau may direct carriers to take any actions necessary to ensure compliance with the deployment schedule. Accordingly, we believe that

In addition, the First Order clarified that the portability obligation included not only porting between wireline carriers, but also "intermodal portability": the porting of numbers from wireline carriers to wireless providers, and vice versa. First Order ¶ 152, 11 F.C.C.R. at 8431, ¶ 155, at 8433, ¶ 166, at 8440; see 47 C.F.R. §§ 52.23(b), 52.31(a).1 5 LECs, the FCC relied on another statute, the Telecommunications Act of 1934, as the basis for imposing a porting obligation on wireless carriers.
