INTRODUCTION Texas 10, LLC (“Texas 10”) and AT&T Inc. (“AT&T” and, together with Texas 10, the “Applicants”) have filed a series of applications pursuant to Sections 214 and 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the “Applications”).1 In the Applications, the Applicants seek Commission approval of the assignment of certain wireless licenses and related authorizations in Louisiana to Texas 10. These licenses and authorizations are currently held by Centennial Southeast License Company LLC (“Centennial Southeast”) and Centennial Communications Corp. (“Centennial”). The Applicants state that these transactions will satisfy some of AT&T’s obligations under the AT&T- Centennial Order to divest certain Centennial licenses and operations in Louisiana and Mississippi.2 These assignment applications pertain to licenses for the Part 22 Cellular Radiotelephone Service and the Part 101 Common Carrier Fixed Point-to-Point Microwave Service, as well as international Section 214 authorizations. The Applicants propose to accomplish these transactions through the assignment of the relevant licenses (and related assets) currently held by Centennial Southeast and its affiliates to Independence III Newco, LLC (“Independence III”), a newly-formed, wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of AT&T. Simultaneously, AT&T will transfer its interest in Independence III to Texas 10, thereby causing control of Independence III, and all of its FCC licenses and authorizations, to be transferred to Texas 10. 1 47 U.S.C. §§ 214, 310(d). 2 Applications of AT&T Inc. and Centennial Communications Corp. for Consent to Transfer Control of Licenses, Authorizations, and Spectrum Leasing Arrangements, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 24 FCC Rcd 13915, 13961 ¶ 111 (2009).
