                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: February  5, 2013

   By the District Director, Detroit Office, Northeast Region, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's rules (Rules)^ to T-Mobile License LLC (T-Mobile),
       licensee of Advanced Wireless Service (AWS) Station WQGA720 in
       Lansing, Michigan. Pursuant to Section 1.89(a) of the Rules, issuance
       of this NOV does not preclude the Enforcement Bureau from further
       action if warranted, including issuing a Notice of Apparent Liability
       for Forfeiture for the violation noted herein.^

    2. On December 14, 2012, in response to a report of interference to
       Broadcast Auxiliary Service stations in the Lansing area, an agent of
       the Enforcement Bureau's Detroit Office conducted an investigation and
       found the following violation:

   47 C.F.R. S Section 27.1133:  "Protection of Part 74 and Part 78
   operations.  AWS operators must protect previously licensed Broadcast
   Auxiliary Service (BAS) and Cable Television Radio Service (CARS)
   operations in the adjacent 2025-2110 MHz band. In satisfying this
   requirement AWS licensees must, before constructing and operating any base
   or fixed station, determine the location and licensee of all BAS or CARS
   stations authorized in their area of operation and coordinate their
   planned stations with those licensees."  The agent determined that
   T-Mobile did not coordinate with the BAS licensees in the Lansing area
   prior to operating AWS Station WQGA720, which resulted in interference to
   several BAS stations.

    3. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended,^ and Section 1.89 of the Rules, we seek additional
       information concerning the violations and any remedial actions taken.
       Therefore, T-Mobile Licensee LLC must submit a written statement
       concerning this matter within twenty (20) days of release of this
       Notice. The response (i) must fully explain each violation, including
       all relevant surrounding facts and circumstances, (ii) must contain a
       statement of the specific action(s) taken to correct each violation
       and preclude recurrence, and (iii) must include a time line for
       completion of any pending corrective action(s). The response must be
       complete in itself and must not be abbreviated by reference to other
       communications or answers to other notices.^

    4. In accordance with Section 1.16 of the Rules, we direct T-Mobile
       License LLC to support its response to this Notice with an affidavit
       or declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an
       authorized officer of T-Mobile with personal knowledge of the
       representations provided in T-Mobile's response, verifying the truth
       and accuracy of the information therein,^ and confirming that all of
       the information requested by this Notice which is in the licensee's
       possession, custody, control, or knowledge has been produced. To
       knowingly and willfully make any false statement or conceal any
       material fact in reply to this Notice is punishable by fine or
       imprisonment under Title 18 of the U.S. Code.^
