(``SBC'') of section 254 of the Communications Act of 1934, as

evaluated the facts before us. We believe that the public
interest would be served by approving the Consent Decree and
terminating the investigation.

material new evidence relating to this matter, we conclude that
there are no substantial or material questions of fact as to
whether SBC possesses the basic qualifications, including those
related to character, to hold or obtain any Commission license or
authorization.

the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i),
