Press Statement of Chairman William E. Kennard on the Adoption of Rules for Location Monitoring Service Licenses


Today's Order paves the way for the Commission to auction Location and Monitoring Services (LMS) licenses. These licenses are another way the Commission is opening up new opportunities and helping the industry deliver new products. LMS services will promote public safety, make our highways safer and improve productivity in transportation.
