Clear Terms

Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

D.C. CIRCUIT UPHOLDS AIRCELL WAIVER DECISION
May 5, 2004 by Howard Buskirk|Miscellaneous

The U.S. Appeals Court, D.C., Tues. let stand an FCC order granting AirCell a waiver to operate an analog cellular telephone system on aircraft. The court rejected arguments by AT&T Wireless, Cingular and Verizon Wireless that the FCC had failed to explain its earlier decision on interference threshold, adopting a more permissive standard. The carriers had asked the court to vacate AirCell’s waiver authority.
