                             ORDER

   Adopted:  August 31, 1999            Released:  September 1, 1999

By the Chief, Public Safety and Private Wireless Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:
     

     1.  Background.  This Order addresses two Petitions to Deny in Part (Petitions) and two
subsequently filed requests to withdraw those petitions (Withdrawal Requests) filed by Astrolink
Communications, Inc. (Astrolink) and Columbia Millimeter Communications, Inc. (CMC) (collectively,
Petitioners) against the above-referenced application concerning the transfer of control (Transfer
Application) of No Wire LLC (No Wire) to WinStar Wireless Fiber Corp. (WinStar).  For the reasons set
forth below, Petitioners' Petitions and Withdrawal Requests are dismissed.

     2.  On April 10, 1998, No Wire filed the above-referenced Transfer Application.  On June 4, 1998,
Petitioners filed their respective Petitions opposing the portion of the Transfer Application pertaining to
pending mutually exclusive 39 GHz applications, explaining that the transfer of those applications to a
third party should not be permitted.  Subsequently, on September 30, 1998, Petitioners filed Withdrawal
Requests stating that the parties had eliminated the mutual exclusivesituation by amending or withdrawing their applications, thus removing the basis of their objection to No
Wire's Transfer Application.

     3.  Discussion.  We believe that a change in ownership will not affect the ultimate disposition of
these pending applications.  Accordingly, the Petitions are dismissed and the pending mutually exclusive
applications at issue will be processed in accordance with the Commission's decisions in the ET Docket No.
95-183 proceeding. 

     4.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Sections 4(i) and 309 of the Communications Act
of 1934 as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), 309 and Section 1.939 (g) of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.
 1.939 (g), that the Petitions to Deny of Astrolink and CMC filed on June 4, 1998 respectively are hereby
DISMISSED.

     5.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to Sections 4(i) and 310(d) of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), 310(d) and 1.948 of the Commissions's Rules, 47 C.F.R. 
1.948 that the No Wire LLC transfer of control application, FCC File No. 9713583, will be subject to
further review and processing by the Division's Licensing and Technical Analysis Branch.

     6.  This action is taken pursuant to delegated authority under Sections  0.131(a) and 0.331, of the
Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.131(a) and 0.331.
