Transfer of Control of Powertel, Inc. to VoiceStream Wireless Corporation
On September 18, 2000, VoiceStream Wireless Corporation ("VoiceStream"), Powertel, Inc. ("Powertel"), and Deutsche Telekom AG ("DT") (collectively "Applicants") filed applications under Sections 214 and 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, ("the Act"), seeking Commission approval of the transfer of control to DT of licenses and authorizations presently held by VoiceStream, Powertel, and their subsidiaries. This transfer of control would take place as the result of a proposed merger, whereby first VoiceStream, and then Powertel, would become wholly owned subsidiaries of DT. VoiceStream and Powertel also filed a separate set of applications seeking Commission consent to allow Powertel to become a wholly owned subsidiary of VoiceStream rather than DT, in the event the proposed VoiceStream-DT (and Powertel-DT) mergers are not approved.
