**ORDER**

**Adopted: February 29, 2000 Released: March 1, 2000**

By the Chief, Policy and Rules Branch, Commercial Wireless Division,
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:

1\. In this Order, we dismiss as moot the Petition to Dismiss or Deny
(Joint Petition) the above-captioned application of Sunshine Cellular
(Sunshine), filed jointly on July 6, 1992, by Pennsylvania Cellular
Telephone Corp. (\"P-Corp\")[^1] and Harrisburg Cellular Telephone
Company ("Harrisburg"),[^2] both of which were subsidiaries of Vanguard
Cellular Systems, Inc. (Vanguard Cellular). As discussed below, the
Joint Petition is rendered moot by the Commission's approval of certain
requests for assignment of licenses and transfer of control of the
parties involved in this matter.

2\. On December 5, 1994, the Commission granted the assignment of
Sunshine's station under call sign KNKN-719 to P-Corp.[^3] On November
29, 1996, the Commission granted the *pro forma* assignment of
Harrisburg's call sign KNKN-339 to P-Corp.[^4] Further, on March 11,
1999, the Commission granted an application for transfer of control from
Vanguard Cellular to Winston, Inc. (\"Winston\"), a subsidiary of AT&T
Corp (AT&T).[^5] Because call sign KNKN-719 is now licensed to P-Corp
and the joint Petitioner, Harrisburg, has also assigned its
authorization to P-Corp, there is no remaining dispute between the
parties concerning the above-captioned application and the Joint
Petition is dismissed as moot. The current licensee of call sign
KNKN-719, P-Corp (through its controlling entity, AT&T), has requested
that File No. 06087-CL-MP-92 be withdrawn.[^6] Because there is no
dispute between the parties, we grant P-Corp's request to withdraw FCC
File No. 06087-CL-MP-92.

3\. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 4(i) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 154(i), and Sections
0.331 and 1.939(g) of the Commission\'s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.331 and
1.939(g), the Petition to Dismiss or Deny, filed on July 6, 1992, by
Pennsylvania Cellular Telephone Corp. and Harrisburg Cellular Telephone
Company is hereby DISMISSED as moot.

4\. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 4(i) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 154(i), and Section
0.331 of the Commission\'s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 0.331, the Request to
Withdraw File No. 06087-CL-MP-92, filed on February 29, 2000 by
Pennsylvania Cellular Telephone Corp. is hereby GRANTED.
