   Case Number: EB-09-DL-0085 Document Number: W201032500009

   On December 1, 2009, in response to a complaint of interference, agents
   from the Commission's Dallas Office of the Enforcement Bureau, inspected
   Triangle Market, located at 1500 W Highway 90, Alpine, Texas and observed
   a radio transmitting device designed to jam licensed cellular radio
   transmissions in the 824-849 and 869-894 MHz frequency bands as well as
   other licensed frequency bands in operation. During the inspection you
   admitted that the unit had been in operation and you disconnected the unit
   from the power supply.

   Persons operating or using radio transmitters must be licensed or
   authorized by the Commission, pursuant to Section 301 of the
   Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act").1 In addition, radio
   transmitting equipment must comply with the Commission's Rules ("Rules").2
   Section 333 of the Act prohibits willful or malicious interference with
   any radio communications of any station licensed or authorized by or under
   the Act or operated by the United States Government.3 In addition, Section
   302(b) of the Act, and Section 2.803(a) of the Rules prohibit the
   manufacture, importation, marketing, sale or operation of devices
   deliberately designed to jam or disrupt wireless communications.4 The
   Commission has issued two Public Notices specifically stating that the
   sale and use of transmitters designed to prevent, jam or interfere with
   the operation of cellular and personal communications service ("PCS")
   telephones is unlawful.5 Section

   1  47 U.S.C. S: 301. The only exception to this licensing requirement is
   for certain transmitters using or operating at a
   power level that complies with the standards established in Part 15 of the
   Commission's rules. 47 C.F.R. S:S: 15.1 et
   seq.

   sanctions including imprisonment.8 Because unauthorized operation creates
