Cingular and AT&T Wireless
WT Docket 04-70
See the related transaction in Docket 04-254 -- Cingular Wireless and T-Mobile USA, Inc. seek FCC consent to assignment of licenses and approval of long-term De Facto leasing arrangements.
This page provides information on the joint application filed by AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. (“AT&T Wireless”) and Cingular Wireless Corporation (“Cingular”) (collectively, “the Applicants”) to the Commission seeking consent to transfer control of various Commission licenses and authorizations held by AT&T Wireless and its wholly- or majority-owned subsidiaries to Cingular (“Application”). This transfer of control will take place as a result of a proposed merger whereby AT&T Wireless will become an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Cingular. The Applicants also request a waiver of the cellular cross-interest rule contained in section 22.942 of the Commission’s rules, which generally limits the ability of a licensee for one channel block to have more than a five percent ownership interest in the cellular licensee for the other channel block in an overlapping portion of the same Rural Service Area (“RSA”). As a result of the proposed merger, Cingular would be acquiring an interest in the cellular A Block licensee from AT&T Wireless in eleven RSAs where Cingular currently holds an attributable interest in the cellular B Block licensee.
Interested parties must file petitions to deny no later than May 3, 2004. Persons and entities that file 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. Oppositions to such pleadings must be filed no later than May 13, 2004. Replies to such pleadings must be filed no later than May 20, 2004. All filings concerning matters referenced to in this Public Notice should refer to DA 04-932 and WT Docket No. 04-70, as well as the specific file numbers of the individual applications or other matters to which the filings pertain. Copies of the applications and any subsequently-filed documents in this matter may be obtained from Qualex International, in person at 445 12th Street, S.W., Room CY-B402, Washington, D.C. 20554, via telephone at (202) 863-2893, via facsimile at (202) 863-2898, or via e-mail at qualexint@aol.com.
