## Abstract

In this document, the Commission concludes that Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) carriers should no longer be exempt from the Commission's rule requiring that billing descriptions be brief, clear, non-misleading and in plain language. In addition, the Commission puts CMRS carriers on notice that it intends to review complaints regarding unclear or misleading billing descriptions, and may take enforcement action under this rule, as appropriate, based on such complaints or other evidence of non-compliance.
