     On December 9, 1996, the Commission certified Metropolitan Fiber Systems/New York, Inc. d/b/a

New York.  On September 16, 1998, MFS New York filed a letter informing the Commission that it does not
operate an open video system and has no intention of providing such services in the future.  Consequently, MFS
New York withdraws its open video certification to serve the City of Manhattan, New York.
