Designated Entity And Entrepreneurial Eligibility Issues
AWS and Cingular state that this transaction will include the transfer of C and F Block PCS licenses to AWP. The Commission’s rules state that “[n]o assignment or transfer of control of a license for frequency Block C or frequency Block F won in closed bidding pursuant to the eligibility requirements of § 24.709 will be granted,” except when, among other things, “[t]he application for assignment or transfer of control is filed on or after the date the licensee has notified the Commission pursuant to § 24.203(c) that its five-year construction requirement has been satisfied.” AWS and Cingular state that five-year build-out notifications have been filed for all the C and F block licenses implicated in the assignment applications.
AWS and Cingular acknowledge that full payment of the remaining unpaid principal and any unpaid interest accrued through the eventual date of the assignments or transfers of control and any other payments otherwise required by Section 1.2111 of the Commission’s rules will be required to be made immediately prior to closing.
