**POST-TRANSITION NOTIFICATIONS FILED IN WT DOCKET NO. 06-136**

By this Public Notice, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau)
announces the filing of Post-transition Notifications by Fixed Wireless
Holdings, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clearwire Corporation
("Clearwire"), Nextel Spectrum Acquisition Corp. and NSAC, LLC,
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Sprint Nextel Corporation (collectively
"Sprint Nextel") regarding the transition of the 2500-2690 MHz band.

On July 29, 2004, the Commission released a *Report and Order and
Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking* (*BRS/EBS R&O and FNPRM*) that
revamped the rules and policies governing the licensing of services in
the 2500-2690 MHz MDS/ITFS band.[^1] In particular, the Commission
adopted a new band plan that restructures the 2500-2690 MHz band into
upper and lower-band segments for low-power operations (UBS and LBS,
respectively), and a mid-band segment (MBS) for high-power operations.
The Commission also adopted a transition plan for relocating Educational
Broadband Service (EBS) licensees and Broadband Radio Service (BRS)
licensees from their current channel locations to their new spectrum
blocks in the LBS, MBS, or UBS. Specifically, the transition occurs in
the following five phases: (1) initiating the transition process by
filing an Initiation Plan with the Commission; (2) planning the
transition; (3) reimbursing the costs of the transition; (4) terminating
existing operations in transitioned markets; and (5) completing the
transition by filing the Post-transition Notification with the
Commission and sending a copy to all affected BRS and EBS licensees.[^2]

On April 27, 2006, the Commission released a *Third Memorandum Opinion
and Order and Second Report and Order* (*BRS/EBS 3^rd^ MO&O*) that,
among other things, revised the transition area size from Major Economic
Areas (MEAs) to Basic Trading Areas (BTAs). [^3] The Commission also
determined that the transition can be undertaken by multiple proponents,
and that the first entity to file an Initiation Plan with the Commission
is the proponent for a given BTA.[^4] When the transition has been
completed, the proponent must file a copy of the Post-transition
Notification with the Secretary's Office certifying that the Transition
Plan has been fully implemented. The proponent must also provide copies
of the Post-transition Notification to all parties to the transition.
Any BRS or EBS licensee who objects to a Post-transition Notification
listed in the Appendix to this Public Notice must file an objection with
the Secretary's Office by June 12, 2008.

The Post-transition Notifications listed in the Appendix to this Public
Notice were filed as described in the Appendix.

Copies of the Post-transition Notifications listed in the Appendix, as
well as other documents filed in WT Docket No. 06-136, may be obtained
