                             ORDER


   Adopted:  December 3, 1999           Released:  December 3, 1999

By the Chief, Policy and Rules Branch, Commercial Wireless Division, and the Chief, Policy and Rules
Branch, Public Safety and Private Wireless Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:

     1.   In this Order we grant certain assignment applications filed by Preferred Communication
Systems, Inc. (Preferred).  We further grant the Notice of Withdrawal of Petitions to Deny (Withdrawal
Notice) filed on July 8, 1999 by Telecellular, Inc. (Telecellular) and dismiss the Petition to Intervene filed
on April 7, 1999 by Dee Ann Wunschel (Wunschel).

     2.   Preferred filed numerous applications to assign the Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR)
licenses listed in Appendix A from various licensees to Preferred.  On July 16, 1998, August 28, 1998,
December 10, 1998 and February 19, 1999, Telecellular filed Petitions to Deny the assignment
applications.  On July 8, 1999, Telecellular filed a Withdrawal Notice requesting the withdrawal of its
Petitions to Deny.  We find that Telecellular has met the requirements for withdrawing a petition to deny
set forth in section 1.935 of the Commission's rules, and therefore grant the Withdrawal Notice.

     3.   On April 7, 1999, Wunschel, a shareholder of Telecellular, filed a Petition to Intervene
requesting that the Commission deny the assignment applications.  Pursuant to section 309(d)(1) of the
Communications Act, as amended, and section 1.939 of the Commission's rules, a party in interest may
file a petition to deny any application no later than 30 days after the date of the public notice listing the
application as accepted for filing.  Wunschel's Petition to Intervene was untimely filed, and she has failed to
provide justification for considering her untimely-filed petition.  Accordingly, we dismiss the petition.  

     4.   Preferred requests assignment of the licenses listed in Appendix A.  Many of these licenses
were cancelled pursuant to the Goodman/Chan Reconsideration Order.  As a result, we find that it is in
the public interest to grant only the assignment applications pertaining to licenses that were not cancelled. 
We have listed the licenses to be assigned to Preferred that are still valid in Appendix B.  Accordingly, we
grant the assignment of the licenses listed in Appendix B to Preferred and dismiss the applications to assign
the remaining licenses.

     5.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 4(i) of the Communications Act,
as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), and sections 0.331 and 1.935 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 
0.331, 1.935, the Notice of Withdrawal of Petitions to Deny filed by Telecellular, Inc. on July 8, 1999 IS
HEREBY GRANTED.

     6.   IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to sections 4(i) and 309(d)(1) of the
Communications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), 309(d)(1), and sections 0.331 and 1.939 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.331, 1.939, the Petition to Intervene filed by Dee Ann Wunschel on
April 7, 1999 IS HEREBY DISMISSED.

     7.   IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to sections 4(i) and 310(d) of the
Communications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), 310(d), and sections 0.331 and 1.948 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.331, 1.948, the assignment applications filed by Preferred
Communication Systems, Inc. listed in Appendix B ARE HEREBY GRANTED.  The other assignment
applications filed by Preferred Communications Systems, Inc. ARE HEREBY DISMISSED.
