                                              Released: November 2, 
                                                               2004

By the Enforcement Bureau, Houston Office:


  1. This is an Official Citation issued pursuant to Section 
503(b)(5) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act'')1, 
to Cellular World, for violation of Section 302(b) of the Act.2 

  2.      Investigation by the FCC's Houston Office revealed that 
beginning approximately in April of this year and on October 27, 
2004, Cellular World operated an antenna tester/display unit at 
their store located at 210 Highway 96 South, Silsbee, TX 77656.  
The unit is used to illuminate specially designed cellular phone 
antennas with embedded lights.  These type devices have not 
received FCC equipment authorization as required for radio 
frequency devices marketed in the United States.  Thus, the 
importation, sale, or use of the device violates Section 302(b) of 
the Act.

  3.      Section 302(b) of the Act, provides ``[n]o person shall 
manufacture, import, sell, offer for sale, or ship devices or home 
electronic equipment and systems, or use devices, which fail to 
comply with regulations promulgated pursuant to this section.''3
  4.      Operation of this device also may constitute unlicensed 
radio operation in violation of Section 301 of the Act.4  Radio 
transmitting equipment may be operated only upon Commission 
issuance of a station license covering such equipment.  The only 
exception to the licensing requirement is for the operation of 
certain low powered devices operated in accordance with Part 15 of 
the Rules.5

  5. Additionally, harmful interference caused by the operation of 
this device is strictly prohibited.  Operation of a low powered 
device that otherwise meets the radiation limits of Part 15 of the 
Rules6 but causes harmful interference violates Section 15.5(b) of 
the Rules.7  Any willful or malicious interference to authorized 
radio communications violates Section 333 of the Act.8

  6. Subsequent violations of the Communications Act or of the 
Commission's Rules may subject the violator to substantial monetary 
fines not to exceed $11,000 for each such violation or each day of 
a continuing violation,9 seizure of equipment through in rem 
forfeiture action, and criminal sanctions including imprisonment.10

  7. Section 503(b)(5) of the Act provides that Cellular World, may 
request a personal interview at the closest FCC location to your 
business or residence, this appears to be the Commission's Houston 
Office.  If you would like to schedule a personal interview contact 
this office by telephone at   XXX XXX-XXXX.  You must schedule this 
interview to take place within 30 days of the date of this 
citation. Additionally, Cellular World may submit a written 
statement within 30 days of the date of this citation.  Any written 
statement should specify what actions have been taken to correct 
the violation outlined above.  Please reference file number EB-04-
HU-032 when corresponding with the Commission.  Any written 
statement should be mailed to:

required.11  Any knowingly or willfully false statement made in
