Limited Waiver of Deadline for Completion of Cellular Divestiture for PCS Providers

Краткое содержание

The Chief, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau released this Order granting a request for a limited waiver of the Commission's Rules regarding deadline for completion of cellular divestiture for PCS providers filed by WirelessCo, L.P., PhillieCo, L.P., and Sprint Corporation (``Petitioners''), file number CWD-95-7. As a result of this order, Petitioners have an extension of the post-auction divestiture time period for one year, until September 21, 1996, to divest Sprint's prohibited cellular interests and come into compliance with the PCS/cellular cross-ownership rule. This waiver is conditioned upon the Petitioners demonstrating that the activities of Sprint Cellular and Sprint Telecommunications Venture will be separated completely during the waiver period to prevent anticompetitive practices. A certified plan demonstrating this separation must be submitted to the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau's Commercial Wireless Division within sixty (60) days of the publication of this Order in the Federal Register.
