ISP-PDR-20100601-00011                  P                  Iowa Wireless Services Holding Corporation
Petition for Declaratory Ruling
Iowa Wireless Services Holding Corporation (Iowa Wireless or "Petitioner") requests that the Commission extend its existing declaratory ruling
under section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), 47 U.S.C. § 310(b)(4), to cover Advanced Wireless Services
("AWS") licenses which Iowa Wireless intends to acquire by assignment and lease from T-Mobile License LLC. ULS Application File No.
0004235536. Petitioner states that its existing declaratory ruling authorizes indirect foreign ownership by Deutsche Telekom AG (DT) up to and
including 60% in Iowa Wireless with regard to PCS licenses. See ISP-PDR-20060522-0009, DA 06-2567, 21 FCC Rcd 14739 (IB 2006).

Petitioner states that it is a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Iowa Wireless Services, LLC (IWS-LLC), a Delaware limited
liability company. There are two members of IWS-LLC. INS Wireless, Inc. (INSW), an Iowa corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Iowa Network Services, Inc., an Iowa corporation, holds a 46% interest in IWS-LLC. VoiceStream PCS I Iowa Corporation (VoiceStream PCS), a
Delaware corporation, holds a 54% interest in IWS-LLC.

VoiceStream PCS is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of T-Mobile USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation. T-Mobile USA is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of T-Mobile Global Holding GmbH, which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of T-Mobile Global Zwischenholding GmbH which is
a wholly-owned subsidiary of DT. All three of these entities are organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, a World Trade
Organization member country.

The Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) holds a 14.83% direct interest in DT. Kreditanstalt fur Wiederaufbau (KFW), a bank organized under
the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany and controlled by the FRG, holds a 16.87% direct interest in DT. The FRG holds an 80% interest in
KFW.

Petitioner asserts that, pursuant to the rules and policies established by the Commission's Foreign Participation Order, 12 FCC Rcd 23891 (1997),
Order on Reconsideration, 15 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000), the public interest would be served by extending its existing ruling allowing the indirect
ownership of Iowa Wireless by DT to cover AWS licenses.

Petitioner requests that the Commission condition grant of this petition on compliance with the provisions of a January 12, 2001 agreement
between Deutsche Telekom AG, VoiceStream Wireless Corporation, VoiceStream Wireless Holding Corporation and the Department of Justice
and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Agreement is published at VoiceStream-DT Order, IB Docket No. 00-187, FCC 01-142, 16 FCC
Rcd 9779, 9853-76 (2001).
