Description
I. INTRODUCTION: THE WIRELESS ROAD LESS TRAVELED--TWO ROADS DIVERGED ... In May of 1998, the Authors surveyed America's wireless terrain in a Federal Communications Law Journal article (1) and observed that commercial mobile radio services ("CMRS") stood at a pivotal crossroads. (2) One road led to a new land envisioned by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 ("1993 Act") (3) and the Telecommunications Act of 1996 ("1996 Act") (4)--a deregulated landscape fostering competition, investment, and regulatory consistency through a uniform federal framework. The other road led back to the far country of the original Communications Act of 1934 ("1934 Act") (5)--a regulated, static industry landscape preserving the legacy of dual, and often conflicting, federal and state jurisdictional regimes tied to artificial geographical and political boundaries and onerous state burdens.
