Report No. CWD-22-I (Auction No. 22)

     On October 4, 1999, an Order was released by the Policy and Rules Branch of the
Commercial Wireless Division of the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau), which
resolved outstanding issues involving 24 C block broadband PCS licenses won at Auction 22, the
C, D, E and F block broadband PCS license auction that closed on April 15, 1999.  The Bureau
announced on October 5, 1999 that it will grant applications for these 24 licenses provided that
each applicant makes its final payment before the deadlines established by the Commission.  The
final payment deadline was October 20, 1999.

     A timely final payment was received for all 24 markets.  Accordingly, by this Public Notice
we announce the grant of the C block broadband PCS licenses listed in Attachment A.  We grant
these licenses pursuant to Section 309(a) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C.  309(a), and
Section 0.331 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.331, because it will serve the public
interest, convenience and necessity.

     In a public notice regarding Auction 22, released December 23, 1998, the Bureau stated
that when auctioned licenses are involved in a pending proceeding, such licenses will be granted at
the close of the auction in order to serve the public interest in prompt implementation of PCS
service, and that the grant of such licenses will be conditioned on the outcome of pending
proceedings.  Accordingly, the licenses we grant today are subject to the outcome of any pending
litigation that may affect the licenses.
