                      NOTICE OF UNAUTHORIZED OPERATION AND

                    INTERFERENCE TO LICENSED RADIO STATIONS

   Case Number: EB-09-MA-0212

   Document Number: W201032600019

   On December 10, 2009, in response to a complaint of interference from U.S.
   Cellular, agents from the Commission's Miami Office of the Enforcement
   Bureau confirmed by direction finding techniques that radio signals on the
   824-849 and 869-894 MHz frequency bands, as well as other licensed
   frequency bands, were emanating from your business located at 8148 N.W.
   74th Ave., Medley, FL. U.S. Cellular has a license to provide cellular
   communications in the 824-849 and 869-894 MHz frequency bands. During an
   inspection, your operations manager admitted that a "cell phone jamming
   device" had been in operation and stated he would power down the unit
   immediately. After the unit was powered down, the interfering signals
   ceased.

   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"). In addition, radio
   transmitting equipment must comply with the Commission's Rules ("Rules").
   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. 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. 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. Section 303(n) of the Act also authorizes agents
   of the Commission to inspect all radio installations to determine
   compliance with Commission rules.

   The operation of the devices utilized by you constitutes a violation of
   Sections 333, 302(b), and 301 of the Act, as described above. Such
   operation may subject you to substantial monetary forfeitures, in rem
   arrest action against the offending radio equipment, and criminal
   sanctions including imprisonment. Because unauthorized operation creates a
   danger of interference to important radio communications services, and may
   subject the operator to severe penalties, this notice emphasizes the
   importance of complying strictly with these legal requirements.

            OPERATION OF THIS PROHIBITED  RADIO TRANSMITTING DEVICE

                                MUST NOT RESUME.

   You may respond with any information you believe relevant to this warning
   within (10) days from the date of this warning. Your response should be
   sent to the address in the letterhead and reference the listed case
   number. Under the Privacy Act of 1974, we are informing you that the
   Commission's staff will use all relevant material information before it to
   determine what, if any, enforcement action is required to ensure your
   compliance with FCC Rules. This will include any information that you
   disclose in your reply.

   Sincerely,

   Michael Mattern

   Resident Agent
