**COMMISSION SEEKS COMMENT ON APPLICATION FOR**

**CONSENT TO TRANSFER OF CONTROL FILED BY**

**AT&T INC. and BELLSOUTH CORPORATION**

**WC Docket No. 06-74**

**PLEADING CYCLE ESTABLISHED**

**Comments/Petitions Due: June 5, 2006**

**Responses/Oppositions to Petitions Due: June 20, 2006**

AT&T Inc. ("AT&T") and BellSouth Corporation ("BellSouth")
(collectively, "the Applicants") have filed a series of applications
pursuant to sections 214 and 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended[^1] and section 2 of the Cable Landing License Act.[^2] In
these applications, the Applicants seek Commission approval of the
transfer of control to AT&T of licenses and authorizations held directly
and indirectly by BellSouth. This transfer of control will take place as
a result of a proposed acquisition whereby BellSouth will become a
wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T. These transfer of control applications
pertain to domestic and international section 214 authorizations, cable
landing licenses, Part 25 satellite earth station authorizations,
various wireless licenses and Part 5 Experimental Radio Service
licenses.

The Applicants also seek consent to the transfer of control of Cingular
Wireless LLC ("Cingular") and its various subsidiaries and
affiliates.[^3] The Applicants assert that the transfer of control of
the vast majority of Cingular's licenses and authorizations will be
non-substantial (*i.e.*, *pro forma*) in nature and that the
Commission's rules and precedents require only post-consummation
notification rather than advance consent for the proposed
transaction.[^4] Nevertheless, the Applicants have filed applications
seeking advance consent out of "an abundance of caution."[^5]

These transfer of control applications were filed in connection with a
proposed acquisition whereby AT&T will acquire BellSouth. At closing, a
wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T will be merged with and into BellSouth,
with BellSouth being the surviving entity. Each share of common stock of
BellSouth will be converted into 1.325 shares of AT&T common stock.
BellSouth thus will become a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T. While AT&T
will become the new parent of BellSouth, BellSouth will continue to own
the stock of its subsidiaries, and BellSouth and its subsidiaries will
continue to hold all of the FCC licenses and authorizations that they
hold prior to the merger.[^6]

In addition, by combining the separate interests AT&T and BellSouth
currently have in Cingular, that entity will become a wholly owned
subsidiary of AT&T. Cingular will continue to hold all of its current
interests in its subsidiaries and affiliates, and Cingular, its
subsidiaries, and its affiliates will continue to hold all of the FCC
licenses and authorizations that they hold prior to the merger.

**Section 214** **AUTHORIZATIONS**

**A. *Part 63 -- Domestic Section 214 Authority***

The Applicants have filed an application for consent to the transfer of
control of domestic section 214 authority from BellSouth to AT&T in
connection with the transaction described above.

**B. *Part 63 -- International Section 214 Authorizations***

The following applications for consent to the transfer of control of
BellSouth's international section 214 authorizations and Cingular's
international section 214 authorizations to AT&T have been assigned the
file numbers listed below.

***EX PARTE* STATUS OF THIS PROCEEDING**

Pursuant to section 1.1200(a) of the Commission's rules,[^9] the
Commission may adopt modified or more stringent *ex parte* procedures in
particular proceedings if the public interest so requires. We announce
that this proceeding will be governed by permit-but-disclose *ex parte*
procedures that are applicable to non-restricted proceedings under
section 1.1206 of the Commission's rules.[^10]

Parties making oral *ex parte* presentations are directed to the
Commission's statement re-emphasizing the public's responsibility in
permit-but-disclose proceedings and are reminded that memoranda
summarizing the presentation must contain the presentation's substance
and not merely list the subjects discussed.[^11] More than a one- or
two-sentence description of the views and arguments presented is
generally required.[^12] Other rules pertaining to oral and written
presentations are set forth in section 1.1206(b) as well.[^13] We urge
parties to use the Electronic Comment Filing System ("ECFS") to file *ex
parte* submissions.[^14]

***Ex Parte Meeting Schedule***. Staff will be available for meetings on
May 30 and 31 and June 13, 2006, in case interested parties wish to
discuss any issues that they intend to raise in comments or reply
comments, as applicable, in support of, or in opposition to, the
application. The purpose of these meetings is to give interested parties
an opportunity to inform staff of such issues prior to filing their
written comments or reply comments. Parties who wish to schedule
meetings with the Bureau should call Myrva Charles, Competition Policy
Division, Wireline Competition Bureau at (202) 418-1506.

**GENERAL INFORMATION**

The transfer of control applications referenced herein have been found,
upon initial review, to be acceptable for filing. The Commission
reserves the right to return any application if, upon further

applications will not be taken earlier than thirty-one (31) days
following the date of this Public Notice.[^15]

Interested parties must file comments or petitions to deny no later than
June 5, 2006. Persons and entities that file comments or petitions to
deny become parties to the proceeding. They may participate fully in the
proceeding, including seeking access to any confidential information
that may be filed under a protective order, seeking reconsideration of
decisions, and filing appeals of a final decision to the courts.
Responses or oppositions to such pleadings must be filed no later than
June 20, 2006. All filings concerning matters referenced in this Public
Notice should refer to **DA 06-904** and **WC Docket No. 06-74**, as
well as the specific file numbers of the individual applications or
other matters to which the filings pertain.

Commission's Massachusetts Avenue location.
