PRESS STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN WILLIAM E. KENNARD
ON NEXTWAVE RECONSIDERATION ORDER

Enabling American consumers to access the Internet with handheld wireless devices is one of the most exciting advances in telecommunications. Today's action will help make this a reality. Our action upholds the fairness and integrity of our auctions licensing program. We can ill afford to delay bringing new communications services to the public.
