Acquisition, L.L.C. ("Indiana Acquisition") have filed applications
pursuant to Section 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as

transfer of control to AWP of licenses and authorizations currently
controlled by subsidiaries and affiliates of SBC; (2) the reciprocal
assignment of licenses between Ameritech Wireless and AWP; and (3) the
reciprocal assignment of licenses between Ameritech Wireless and Indiana
Acquisition. As listed below, these applications pertain to Personal
Communications Services.[^1]

This transaction is related to the proposed U.S. wireless joint venture

LLC ("Alloy").[^2] Assuming that the transfer of control applications
for the licenses listed below are granted, SBC intends to contribute
these authorizations to the joint venture. The applications listed below
will be considered part of WT Dkt. No. 00-81, which relates to the
transfer of control of licenses and authorizations to Alloy. Interested
parties are invited to comment also on the transfer of control of these
licenses to Alloy.

Final action will not be taken on these applications earlier than 31
days following the date of this Public Notice. *See* 47 U.S.C. § 309(b).
Interested parties may file comments or petitions to deny no later than
September 18, 2000. Replies to such pleadings may be filed no later than
