## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Technology, Media & Telecommunications / IT Contracts](https://ailawframework.com/practice/technology-media-and-telecommunications-it-contracts.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the licence or authority papers in the file, list the service they authorise, the territory they state, and any condition they impose on calls or charges. Set each condition beside § 201 or § 227 only where the words match a duty those sections state. Do not invent a numbering condition. |
| What the lawyer must review | 47 U.S.C. § 201’s just-and-reasonable standard applies to charges, practices, classifications, and regulations of a common carrier engaged in interstate or foreign communication by wire or radio. 47 U.S.C. § 227(b) is the calling restriction described in the statute, including the prior-express-consent and emergency exceptions and the destinations subsection (b)(1)(A) lists. The papers control what this client is authorised to do. If they do not describe a common-carrier service, § 201 is not mapped onto them. Formal Opinion 512: the lawyer checks the map before it is used. Commission numbering rules and state mini-statutes were not opened. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: From the licence or authority papers in the file, list the service they authorise, the territory they state, and any condition they impose on calls or charges. Set each condition beside § 201 or § 227 only where the words match a duty those sections state. Do not invent a numbering condition.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- A national numbering plan and any consumer-safeguard code in the licence’s state were not opened. Leave those rows blank.
- Do not treat a radio or wire condition in the papers as an FCC rule citation. Quote the paper, not a rule number that was not read.
