**F BLOCK BROADBAND PCS LICENSES**

Pursuant to Section 310(d) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. §
310(d), and Section 0.331 of the Commission\'s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 0.331,
the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau) approves, subject to the
conditions set forth below, the applications requesting Commission
consent to assign the following licenses:

**Cricket Licensee (North Carolina), Inc. to Cricket Licensee XIV,
Inc.:** Market

B189F -- Hickory, NC; BTA (F Block); File No. 0000854879.

**Cricket Licensee (North Carolina), Inc. to Cricket Licensee XIII,

B174F -- Greensboro, NC; BTA (F Block); File No. 0000854865.

The above referenced applications are subject to the following
conditions: all installment payments must be current on the consummation
date.[^1] Consent is also conditioned upon full payment of any required
unjust enrichment payments on or before the consummation date. *See 47
C.F.R. § 1.2111(c) and (d)*.

We approve these assignments of license applications because we find
they are in the public interest, convenience, and necessity. *See 47
U.S.C. § 310(d)*. By this approval, the parties are authorized to
proceed to the final stages of their respective transactions. Section
1.948(d) provides that licensees are required to notify the Commission
of consummation using FCC Form 603. *See 47 C.F.R. §1.948(d)*. Hence, we
remind parties that an assignment shall not be considered complete until
the underlying transaction closes and all conditions set forth in the
grant documents, including this Public Notice and the application, are
met. In addition, the approval of each assignment is also conditioned
upon the execution of all Commission loan documents by the assignor,
assignee and the Commission, unless the license being assigned has been
paid in full. It is further conditioned upon full payment of any
required unjust enrichment payments on or before the consummation date*.
See 47 C.F.R. §1.2111(c) and (d).*

Furthermore, unless the license being assigned has been paid in full,
the approval is conditioned upon the assignee\'s execution of the
applicable financing statements (*i.e.* the UCC-1 Forms) and payment of
all costs associated with the preparation and recordation of the
financing statements, on or before the consummation date. Also the
assignee will provide the Commission with its most current filed charter
documents and applicable organization identification number on or before
the consummation date. Where applicable, the Bureau will send all
assignors listed herein the appropriate loan documents and financing
statements upon notification of the proposed consummation date.
Additionally, all installment payments must be current on the
consummation date.[^2] Upon receipt of the letter required by Section
1.948(d) of the Commission\'s rules, and satisfaction of all requisite
conditions, including execution of the appropriate documents, the Bureau
will consider the assignment \"complete\" and will issue the license to
the assignee with the date of the license grant identical to the date
upon which the transaction closed, thus completing the assignment.

Failure of the parties to comply with Section 1.948(d) of the
Commission\'s rules, or any specific condition described above, will
result in automatic cancellation of the Commission\'s assignment
approval, and dismissal of the underlying assignment applications.

To notify the Bureau of the proposed consummation date and to request
loan documents and financing statements, contact Rita Cookmeyer or
Yolanda Lee at (202) 418-0660. Requests for loan documents and financing
statements should be made at least 10 days prior to consummation.

This Public Notice is issued by the Chief, Wireless Telecommunications
Bureau.
