ORDER
Adopted:   March 6, 2007  Released:  March 6, 2007
By the Acting Chief, Competition Policy Division:
1.   In this Order, we dismiss as moot the petition for declaratory ruling filed by Ameritech 
Corporation, AT&T Corp., Bell Atlantic Corporation, Cincinnati Bell Inc., and SBC Communications Inc. 
(collectively, Petitioners) filed on September 22, 1998.1 Petitioners sought a declaratory ruling 
establishing that, to the extent that federal trademark registrations would give Jeman Holdings, Inc.
(Jeman) and Toll-Free Cellular, Inc. (Toll-Free) exclusive rights to various “#8NN” and “*8NN” numbers, 
such registrations would violate the Commission’s policies on the fair and orderly allocation of toll-free 
numbers and would impact detrimentally the Commission’s efforts to further the development of wireless 
services.2 The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office never granted the Jeman and Toll-Free trademark 
registration requests and the applications show a status of “abandoned.”3 Therefore, the issue raised in the 
above-referenced petition for declaratory ruling is moot.   
2.    ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to sections 4(i) and 251(e) of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i) and 251(e), and sections 0.91 and 0.291 of 
the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.91, 0.291, that the petition for declaratory ruling filed by 
Ameritech Corporation, AT&T Corp., Bell Atlantic Corporation, Cincinnati Bell Inc., and SBC 
Communications, Inc. filed on September 22, 1998 IS DISMISSED.
