                          Description of Pro Forma Transaction and
                                  Public Interest Statement

       AT&T Inc. (“AT&T”) hereby seeks consent for the pro forma transfer of control of the
experimental licenses held by New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC (“NCWPCS”) from AT&T
Teleholdings, Inc. (“Teleholdings”) to SBC Telecom, Inc. (“SBC”). As part of a planned
internal reorganization set to occur on December 31, 2016, a change will occur in NCWPCS’s
indirect ownership. Specifically, Teleholdings, which directly holds a 100 percent interest in
SBC, will contribute that interest to AT&T.1

        As NCWPCS, Teleholdings, and SBC are wholly owned subsidiaries of AT&T, no
substantial change in control of NCWPCS’s licenses will occur.2 The Commission has stated
that, in situations “where no substantial change of control will result from the transfer or
assignment, grant of the application is deemed presumptively in the public interest.”3 Applicants
request that Commission staff expeditiously grant these applications.
