Adopted:  August 4, 1999;                   Released:  August 9, 1999

By the Commission:                                        
                                
     1.   On July 23, 1999, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit ordered the Commission to grant QUALCOMM Incorporated (QUALCOMM) a pioneer's
preference "forthwith."  The Commission had previously dismissed QUALCOMM's request for a
pioneer's preference in the 2 GHz broadband Personal Communications Services; however,
QUALCOMM appealed that dismissal, and the Court granted QUALCOMM's petition for review. 
The Commission, in compliance with the Court's decision, hereby grants QUALCOMM a pioneer's
preference.  In accordance with the Court's instructions, the Commission plans to act promptly to
identify suitable frequency spectrum for an award of a license to QUALCOMM.

     2.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that a pioneer's preference is hereby GRANTED to
QUALCOMM Incorporated in accordance with the Court's decision.  This action is taken pursuant
to Sections 4(i) and 303(r) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i) and
303(r).
