Pursuant to Section 1.415(d) of the Commission's Rules, the Commission now seeks additional comment on whether it should adopt an automatic roaming rule.  xRoaming is defined as a telecommunications service occurring when the subscriber of one CMRS provider  xutilizes the facilities of another CMRS provider with which the subscriber has no direct preexisting  xkservice or financial relationship to place an outgoing call, to receive an incoming call, or to continue an  SX- xinprogress call.($X yO-  ԍxInterconnection and Resale Obligations Pertaining to Local Exchange Carrier Provision of Commercial  {O-Mobile Radio Services, CC Docket 9454, Second Report and Order and Third Notice of Proposed Rulemaking,  {OR- x11 FCC Rcd 9462, 9464 (1996), citing 47 C.F.R.  22.99 (defining "roamer" as a mobile station receiving service from a station or system in the Public Mobile Services other than one to which it is a subscriber). ( Most often, roaming occurs when the subscriber is physically located outside the service  S%-area of his or her provider.:% {Oy-ԍxId.:  xkAutomatic roaming occurs when the roaming subscriber is able to originate or terminate a call without  S- xtaking any action other than turning on his or her telephone.MF {Or#-ԍxId. at 946566. M This form of roaming requires a contract  xbetween the home system and the roamedon host system. Before a subscriber can complete an originating  xcall, the subscriber's host carrier identifies the subscriber's home carrier by means of the subscriber's  S- xktelephone number.C {Ok'-ԍxId. at 9466.C Next, the host carrier verifies that it has an agreement with the subscriber's home  S-carrier and queries the carrier to verify that the subscriber's account is current.:j  {O)-ԍxId.:  ,,,"e@w[!h0hLmercury5.p4rbillt '# 5 hef.n05972437.n21wԌ S- x?In the NPRM, the Commission asked, inter alia, whether it should adopt a rule requiring cellular,  x1broadband PCS, and covered SMR providers to enter into automatic roaming agreements on a  x.nondiscriminatory basis. Comments on the NPRM were filed on October 4, 1996, and reply comments  xwere filed on November 22, 1996. Having reviewed the comments received in this proceeding, we believe  x|the record should be reopened to allow interested parties to provide updated comments on the  x\Commission's automatic roaming proposals. Specifically, commenters are encouraged to address any  xdevelopments in the following areas since the closing of the original comment/reply period: (1) the ability  xof new CMRS entrants, particularly PCS C, D, E, and F block licensees, to provide automatic roaming;  x(2) the extent to which CMRS providers, including new entrants, have entered into roaming agreements,  S6- xand the nature of those agreements; and (3) any other recent developments that have an impact on the  S- technical feasibility or cost of our automatic roaming proposals.  S - x The Commission also invites comment on whether our roaming proposals are technically compatible with  Sj - xthe CMRS number portability requirements established in the Number Portability First Report and Order  S8 - xin CC Docket No. 95115.8 b {O - ԍTelephone Number Portability, First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 11 FCC  {Oj-Rcd 8352 (1996), recon pending, ("Number Portability First Report and Order") This Order required cellular, broadband PCS, and covered SMR carriers to  xhave the capability of querying number portability database systems in order to deliver calls from their  S - x=networks to ported numbers anywhere in the country by December 31, 1998. $b {O-ԍxNumber Portability First Report and Order, 11 FCC 8352, 8439 at  165. Cellular, broadband, and  xLcovered SMR carriers were also required to offer service provider portability throughout their networks,  Sl- xincluding the ability to support roaming, by June 30, 1999.lb {O-  ԍxId. at 8440,  166. Service provider number portability allows customers to retain the same telephone number as they change from one service provider to another. We seek comment on the technical capability  xof CMRS providers to support automatic roaming on systems that are configured to meet these CMRS number portability requirements.  xInterested parties may file comments by January 5, 1998; reply comments should be filed by January 20,  x1998. All comments should reference CC Docket No. 9454 and this Public Notice. An original and four  xcopies of all comments must be filed with the Office of the Secretary, Federal Communications  xCommission, 1919 M Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20554. One copy of comments and reply comments  xshould be sent to Janice M. Jamison, Policy & Rules Branch, Commercial Wireless Division, Wireless  xTelecommunications Bureau, Seventh Floor, 2100 M Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20554. One copy  x{should also be sent to the International Transcription Service, Inc. (ITS), 1231 20th Street, N.W.,  xWashington, DC 20036.
