Hutchins" To: rbeavers@llion.org, Subject: FCC ULS internet access <<< JUNE 10, 1999 FCC INITIATES PUBLIC ACCESS VIA THE INTERNET Today, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted a Report and Order enabling the public to access application and licensing information in the Universal Licensing System (ULS) via the Internet. ULS is the FCC's automated licensing system and integrated database for wireless services. The FCC's decision will significantly enhance the ability of the public to access public record information regarding wireless licensees, at a reduced cost. As a result of today's order, anyone with a computer and Internet software will be able to use his or her Internet account to research and review application and licensing data in ULS. Thus, members of the public have a fast, convenient, and low-cost method of researching current wireless spectrum use. The public will also have access via the Internet to the ULS Geographic Information System, which enables users to create customized maps of licensing data. The order also provides for access via the Internet to application data in the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau's (WTB's) auctions database. To ensure the security and reliability of these databases, however, parties participating in electronic bidding or filing wireless applications will continue to dial directly into the Commission's Wide Area Network (FCC WAN) to access ULS or the auctions database. >>> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Website: http://MarkHutchins.com 802-258-3000 (Main) - 802-258-2500 (Fax) Archive provided courtesy of WaveGuide, http://www.wave-guide.org Reprinted with permission of Roy Beavers, http://www.feb.se/EMF-L/EMF-L.html
