ISP-PDR-20090223-00001 P Cellco Partnership Petition for Declaratory Ruling Grant of Authority Date of Action: 04/22/2009 Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless (Verizon Wireless or "Petitioner") requests that the Commission extend Verizon Wireless' existing authority to hold interests in common carrier radio licenses under section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), 47 U.S.C. § 310(b)(4), to encompass: (1) the ten common carrier broadband personal communications service ("PCS") licenses that will be assigned from Vista License Holdings, L.L.C. ("Vista License") to Vista (Mirror 3) PCS License Holding, L.L.C. ("Mirror 3 Sub"), and (2) Mirror 3 Sub, which will become an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Verizon Wireless. See ULS File No. 0003735741. Verizon Wireless is a Delaware general partnership of which 55 percent is indirectly owned by Verizon Communications, Inc. ("Verizon"), and the remaining 45 percent is indirectly owned by Vodafone Group Plc ("Vodafone"). Verizon and Vodafone hold their partnership interests in Verizon Wireless through numerous intermediate subsidiaries organized under the laws of Luxembourg, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States, all of which are World Trade Organization Member countries. Verizon is a widely held, publicly traded company organized in the United States. Vodafone is a widely held, publicly traded company organized in the United Kingdom. The Petitioner states that the Commission has previously approved Verizon Wireless's foreign ownership pursuant to section 310(b)(4) of the Act, citing Applications of Vodafone AirTouch Plc and Bell Atlantic Corporation for Consent to Transfer Control or Assignment of Licenses and Authorizations, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 15 FCC Rcd 16507 (WTB/Int'l Bur. 2000). Petitioner represents no changes have occurred in its foreign ownership since that authorization was granted. Thus, according to Petitioner, the proposed transaction raises no new foreign ownership issues. Pursuant to section 310(b)(4) of the Act and the rules and policies established in the Foreign Participation Order, 12 FCC Rcd 23891 (1997), Order on Reconsideration, 15 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000), we find that the public interest would be served by granting the Petitioner's request. We therefore extend the existing foreign ownership ruling for Verizon Wireless to the subject broadband PCS licenses and to Mirror 3 Sub. This authorization is without prejudice to the Commission's action in any other related pending proceedings.

International private lines to countries which the Commission has exempted from the International Settlements Policy at any time during a particular reporting period are exempt from this requirement.
