What kind of regulation is there concerning reselling cellular service? Do I need a license to become a reseller?
The Commission does not actively regulate resale of cellular service, only mandates that it must occur. Section 20.12(b) of the Commission’s Rules, 47 CFR Part 20, provides that each cellular system licensee must permit unrestricted resale of its service and that this requirement shall cease to be effective five years after the last group of initial licenses for broadband PCS spectrum in the 1850-1910 and 1930-1990 MHz bands is awarded. The Commission does not regulate resellers rates or any other obligations; these are all considered private contracts and negotiations.
