From: Monty Solomon <monty () roscom com> 01/21/2002 - Updated 02:11 AM ET FCC expected to put hold on cell phone numbers By Paul Davidson, USA TODAY In a move that critics say will hamper competition, federal regulators are expected to delay for up to two years a requirement that cell phone companies let customers keep their phone numbers when they switch carriers. The Federal Communications Commission, however, is likely to reject a request from big mobile phone companies to do away with the mandate altogether, say people familiar with the matter. A vote is expected within weeks. http://www.usatoday.com/life/cyber/wireless/2002/01/21/wireless-carriers.htm
