Response to Item 7

This application requests the grant of experimental authorization to enable AT&T Corp.
(AT&T) to engage in experiments to test RF equipment, RF propagation, new and
developing technologies, and enhancements to existing technologies and services. The
application proposes the use of a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA)
modulation techniques at or below the requested power levels in the 2 GHz band. The
Mobile uplink band requested is 1920 to 1930 MHz, which is the low-power PCS band.
As we are requesting an additional site for the experimental license, and the experiments
will occur on AT&T-leased property, at reasonable power levels, we believe that the
likelihood of interference is negligible. The Downlink band requested is in the Advanced
Wireless Services (AWS) band. Since that auction has not yet occurred, and the same
location restrictions apply, the chance for interference with others is again negligible.

Specific components of the testing are expected to include procedures to:
 1) Evaluate the performance of WCMA equipment in delivering multi-media content
       to mobile devices in line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight environments.
 2) Correlate the actual performance of various systems with predicted performance.
 3) Assess the effectiveness of various technologies and designs in providing high
       speed data, multi-media delivery, and voice services.
 4) Evaluate the installation, provisioning, monitoring and maintenance of systems
       tested.

AT&T is constantly engaged in the process of developing and testing the suitability of
technologies for new services to ensure that innovative and competitive services can be
commercially deployed at the earliest time. In order to enable AT&T to engage in the
experimental testing required to bring new and innovative services to the public, AT&T
submits that grant of this application would serve the public interest, convenience, and
necessity.
