ISP-PDR-20041228-00014 P Cook Inlet/VS GSM VII PCS, LLC Petition for Declaratory Ruling Cook Inlet/VS GSM VII PCS, LLC ("CIVS VII" or the "Petitioner"), a winning bidder of certain broadband PCS licenses in Auction No. 58, see DA 05-459, requests that the Commission find permissible the indirect foreign ownership of CIVS VII in excess of the 25 percent benchmark set forth in Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Specifically, the Petitioner requests a declaratory ruling approving 85 percent indirect foreign ownership in CIVS VII by Deutsche Telekom AG ("DT"). Petitioner states that CIVS VII and its sole member, Cook Inlet/VS GSM VII PCS Holdings, LLC ("CIVS Holdings"), are Delaware limited liability companies. CIVS Holdings has two members: (1) Cook Inlet Voice and Data Services, Inc. ("CIVDS") and (2) VoiceStream PCS BTA I Corporation ("VSBTA"). CIVDS is the sole manager of and holds all of the Class A membership interests in CIVS. The Petitioner advises that these membership interests, which currently represent a 50.1 percent equity interest in CIVS Holdings, could decrease to 15 percent. The ultimate parent of CIVDS is Cook Inlet Region, Inc., an Alaska Native Regional Corporation organized pursuant to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, 43 U.S.C. § 1601 et seq. VSBTA, the other member of CIVS Holdings, holds 100 percent of the Class B membership interests in CIVS Holdings. These membership interests, which currently represent a 49.9 percent equity interest, could increase to as much as 85 percent. VSBTA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of T-Mobile, a U.S. corporation, which is indirectly wholly-owned by DT, a corporation organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, a World Trade Organization Member country. Petitioner asserts that, pursuant to the rules and policies established in the Commission's Foreign Participation Order, 12 FCC Rcd 23891 (1997), Order on Reconsideration, 15 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000), and the Commission's decision in the VoiceStream-DT Order, IB Docket No. 00-187, FCC 01-142, 16 FCC Rcd 9779 (2001), an indirect 85 percent foreign ownership and voting interest in CIVS VII by DT is consistent with the public interest. Interested parties may file comments by April 8, 2005 and reply comments by April 15, 2005. ITC-214-20041115-00451 E Navigata Communications Ltd.
