First, the licenses would be pro forma assigned through PCC-controlled intermediate subsidiaries to Price Communications Wireless, Inc. (“PCW”), a wholly owned subsidiary of PCC. Second, PCW would assign the licenses to Cellco in return for a partnership interest in Cellco. As a result, Cellco would become the licensee.2 1 We note that the applicants have also filed applications to assign International 214 authority. See File Nos. ITC-ASG-20001229-00763, ITC-ASG-20001229-00764, ITC-ASG-20001229-00765, ITC-ASG-20001229-00766, ITC-ASG-20001229-00767, ITC-ASG-20001229-00768, and ITC-ASG-20001229-00769. Those applications will be processed separately by the Telecommunications Division of the International Bureau. 2 As discussed above, PCW will engage in a series of pro forma consolidations prior to consummation of the ultimate transaction. At this time, the applicants state that it is not possible to know whether they will ultimately require authority either to transfer control of the licensees or to assign the licenses. Accordingly, the applicants have requested alternative consents to assign the licenses listed below or transfer of the licensees for those licenses.

The following applications have been filed for consent to assign the licenses listed below and have been assigned the file numbers indicated.
