Released: July 3, 1997
On July 2, 1997, the Alarm Industry Communications Committee (AICC) filed a
motion requesting that the Commission immediately order Ameritech Corporation to show
cause why its acquisition of the alarm monitoring assets of Masada Security, Inc. is not in
violation of section 275(a)(2) of the Communications Act, as amended. AICC further
requests that the Commission promptly issue a cease and desist order directing Ameritech to
rescind its purchases of Masada's assets.
Interested parties should file comments on the AICC motion by August 4, 1997 and
reply comments by August 18, 1997, with the Secretary, FCC 1919 M Street, N.W.,

Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20036. Parties filing comments in this non-docketed
proceeding should include the Policy Division internal reference number, CCBPo1 97-8, on
