-*TBD* - - The Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS) was an analog cellular mobile phone system developed by Bell Labs. From 1968 to 1983 the Bell Labs worked out the system, while Motorola was developing the cellular phone. Dr. Martin Cooper produced the first handheld phone "DynaTAC8000x", the famous Brick Phone. - -
+AMPS was one of the first modern cellular phone systems, which remained in operation until 2008. +Service started in Chicago on October 13, 1983 and in the Washington, DC area December 1983. +After divestiture, AMPS was divided among the 7 newly created Regional Holding Companies, now known as RBOCs. +
