ORDER
Adopted:  December 20, 2007 Released:  December 20, 2007
By the Deputy Chief, Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau:
1. On September 28, 2007, South Canaan Cellular Communications Company, LP 
requested a one-day extension of its deadline for complying with the location-capable handset penetration 
requirement in Section 20.18(g)(1)(v) of the Commission’s rules.1  South Canaan asserted that it had 
already shipped location-capable phones to enough of its customers to reach 95% location-capable 
handset penetration, and that those phones would be activated on Monday, October 1.2  Given that the 
relief requested is so minimal, and that South Canaan’s compliance efforts were sufficient to achieve a 
95% location-capable handset penetration rate within one day of its September 30 compliance deadline, 
we find that it is in the public interest to grant South Canaan’s request.
2. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Request for Waiver Extension of South Canaan 
Cellular Communications Company, LP IS GRANTED.
3. This action is taken under delegated authority pursuant to Sections 0.191 and 0.392 of the 
Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.191, 0.392.
