   Adopted: August 15, 2008 Released: August 15, 2008

   By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau:

    1. In this Order, we adopt the attached Consent Decree entered into
       between the Enforcement Bureau ("Bureau") and GE MDS LLC ("GE MDS").
       The Consent Decree terminates an investigation by the  Bureau against
       GE MDS for possible violations of Section 310(d) of the Communications
       Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 1.948 of the Commission's rules
       regarding the unauthorized transfer of 170 microwave radio licenses.

    2. The Bureau and GE MDS have negotiated the terms of the Consent Decree
       that resolve this matter. A copy of the Consent Decree is attached
       hereto and incorporated by reference.

    3. After reviewing the terms of the Consent Decree and evaluating the
       facts before us, we find that the public interest would be served by
       adopting the Consent Decree and terminating the investigation.

    4. In the absence of material new evidence relating to this matter, we
       conclude that our investigation raises no substantial or material
       questions of fact as to whether GE MDS possesses the basic
       qualifications, including those related to character, to hold or
       obtain any Commission license or authorization.

    5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 4(i) of the
       Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and sections 0.111 and 0.311

       IS ADOPTED.

       TERMINATED.
