WASHINGTON—A safety group asked the Federal Communications Commission to
block Cingular Wireless L.L.C.’s
proposed $41 billion acquisition of AT&T Wireless Services Inc. if the
parties do not agree to set aside radio channels for
emergency alert service.

The Cellular Emergency Alert Service Association submitted a petition
yesterday with federal regulators to deny the
merger. May 3 is the deadline for filing challenges to the blockbuster
wireless deal.

Cingular Wireless and AT&T Wireless want to complete the transaction by
the end of the year. Experts predict the FCC
and Justice Department will approve the merger.
