## Abstract

In this Report and Order and Second Report and Order, the Commission makes significant modifications to its rules that cover the Cellular Radiotelephone and other services as part of its Biennial Review of rules. The Commission modifies or eliminates various rules that have become outdated due to supervening rules, technological change, or increased competition among providers of Commercial Mobile Radio Services (CMRS). The actions that the Commission takes in these items amends its rules to modify the requirement that cellular carriers provide analog service compatible with Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS) specifications by establishing a five-year transition period after which the analog standard will not be required, but may still be provided.
