 WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUREAU GRANTS CONSENT TO TRANSFER 
                           CONTROL OF
             D and F BLOCK BROADBAND PCS LICENSES 
                                

     Pursuant to Section 310(d) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C.  310(d), and Section 0.331 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.331, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau) approves, subject
to the conditions set forth below, the applications requesting Commission consent to the following transfer of
control:
     
     
               Public Service Cellular, Inc. to Public Service Communications, Inc.: Markets 
               B017      Anniston, Alabama, BTA (D Block); B016   Anderson, South Carolina;
               B092      Columbus, Georgia, BTA (F Block), File No.  0000017404. 
               
                              
     We approve these transfers because we find they are in the public interest, convenience, and necessity. 
See 47 U.S.C.  310(d).  By this approval, the parties are authorized to proceed to the final stages of their
respective transactions.  Section 1.948(d) of the Commission's rules provides that "the Commission shall be
notified by letter of the date of completion of the assignment or transfer of control." See 47 C.F.R. 1.948(d). 
Hence, we remind parties that a transfer shall not be considered complete until the underlying transaction
closes and all conditions set forth in the grant documents, including this Public Notice and the application, are
met.  Additionally, all installment payments must be current on the consummation date.  Upon receipt of the
letter required by Section 1.948(d) of the Commission's rules, and satisfaction of all requisite conditions, the
Bureau will consider the transfer "complete" and will issue the license to the transferee.

     Failure of the parties to comply with Section 1.948(d) of the Commission's rules, or any specific
condition described above, will result in automatic cancellation of the Commission's approval, and dismissal
of the underlying application(s).  

     Grant of this application is without prejudice to whatever enforcement action may be deemed
appropriate arising from the facts discussed herein.
