Adopted:  March 1, 1995; Released: March 8, 1995            


By the Chief, Formal Complaints and Investigations Branch, Enforcement
Division, Common Carrier Bureau:

          1.  On December 9, 1993, Mobile Marine Radio, Inc. (MMR) filed
the above-captioned complaints against IDB Communications Group, Inc.
(IDB), and KFS World Communications (KFS), alleging violations of
Sections 201 and 202 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47
U.S.C.  201, 202.  On February 8, 1995, MMR filed a request to withdraw
its complaints, stating that certain actions had been taken by IDB that
make it no longer necessary to seek remedial action through the
Commission's complaint process.

2.    We are satisfied that granting MMR's request to withdraw
its complaints will serve the public interest by eliminating the need for
further litigation and the expenditure of further time and resources by
the parties and by the Commission.

3.    Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Sections 1, 4(i),
4(j), and 208 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.
 151, 154(i), 154(j), 208, and the authority delegated under Section
0.291 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.291, that MMR's request
to withdraw the above-captioned complaints IS GRANTED WITH PREJUDICE and
the proceedings ARE TERMINATED.
