   Adopted:  October 14, 1999           Released:  October 14, 1999

By the Deputy Chief, Policy and Rules Branch, Commercial Wireless Division, Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau:  

     1.   On September 26, 1994, MobileMedia Communications, Inc. (MobileMedia) filed a Petition
to Limit Grant of Regional Exclusivity (Petition) of Paging Network of Florida, Inc. (PageNet).  For the
reasons discussed below, we dismiss the Petition.    
      
     2.   At the time the Petition was filed, MobileMedia and PageNet were developing nationwide
and regional systems, respectively, on 929.1375 MHz.  Having considered MobileMedia's arguments and
supporting facts, we determine that it has failed to make a prima facie showing that PageNet request for
exclusivity is inconsistent with the Commission's regional exclusivity rules or that the Commission was
failing to follow those rules.  Further, on May 10, 1996, after the filing of this Petition, the Commission
granted MobileMedia national exclusivity on frequency 929.1375.  Accordingly, we dismiss the Petition.

     3.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that pursuant to authority delegated by sections 4(i) of the
Communications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), and by section 0.331 of the Commission's rules, 47
C.F.R.  0.331 the Petition to Limit Grant of Regional Exclusivity filed by MobileMedia Communications,
Inc. on September 26, 1994,  IS DISMISSED.
