Americans increasingly rely on wireless phones, with nearly 40% of households now using them primarily or solely. Under federal law, the FCC is responsible for fostering a competitive wireless marketplace while ensuring that consumers are protected from harmful practices. This report discusses changes in the wireless industry since 2000, stakeholders' perceptions of regulatory policies and industry practices, and the strategies FCC uses to monitor competition. To conduct this work, the report conducted case studies in both rural and urban areas of four states; and interviewed stakeholders repr

The use of wireless phone service in the U.S. has risen dramatically over the last 20 years, with an estimated 270 million subscribers as of Dec. 2008. Concerns have been raised in recent years about the quality of this service, incl. concerns about billing and carriers' contract terms, such as fees charged for terminating service before the end of a contract period. The FCC has flexibility in regulating wireless phone service carriers. FCC's rules include procedures for addressing consumer complaints. This testimony provides preliminary info. on: (1) consumers' current satisfaction with wirel

The next generation of wireless devices and applications, called ¿third generation¿ or ¿3G,¿ combines two powerful innovations: wireless communications and the Internet. 3G is likely to provide substantial benefits to consumers, significant profits to producers of 3G products and services, and complementary benefits to related industries. To provide 3G applications most efficiently, adequate spectrum must be made available for commercial use. Delays in introducing 3G products and services can be costly. Government policy in allocating spectrum must weigh carefully all benefits and costs. I

When an emergency call is placed to 911, prompt response depends on knowing the location of the caller. Enhanced 911 (E911) service automatically provides this critical information. E911 is in place in most of the country for traditional wireline telephone service. Expanding E911 capabilities to mobile phones is more challenging because of the need to determine the caller's location at the moment the call is made. Concerns have been raised about the pace of wireless E911 implementation and whether this service will be available nationwide. This report reviews the progress being made in impleme

Wireless Multimedia: A Handbook to the IEEE 802.15.3 Standard clarifies the IEEE 802.15.3 standard for individuals who are implementing compliant devices and shows how the standard can be used to develop wireless multimedia applications. The 802.15.3 standard addresses an untapped market that does beyond 802.11 and Bluetooth wireless technologies. The standard addresses the consumer need for low-cost, high data-rate, ad-hoc wireless connections. Some of these applications include: wireless keyboards and printers, personal video and digital camaras, cordless telephones and ntercoms, digital aud
