   Adopted:  April 17, 1997             Released:  April 17, 1997

By the Chief, Commercial Wireless Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:

     1.  On March 21, 1997, CAI Wireless Systems, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary Atlantic
Microsystems, Inc., and its majority-owned affiliate CS Wireless Systems, Inc. (collectively "CAI"),
filed petitions to deny applications of the above-referenced applicants for broadband PCS licenses
in the D, E, and F block.  Oppositions to these petitions were due no later than April 15, 1997.

     2.  On April 15, 1997, CAI filed a Motion for Extension of Time to file replies to these
oppositions.  CAI states that due to the multiplicity of applications, it requires an additional two
weeks to respond adequately to the issues raised in the oppositions.     3.  We conclude that the public interest would be served by granting CAI's Motion for
Extension of Time to April 29, 1997, provided that CAI files a single, consolidated reply in
connection with the oppositions filed by the above-referenced applicants.  Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 1.46 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  1.46, CAI's
deadline for filing a reply to the oppositions filed by the above-captioned applicants IS EXTENDED
to April 29, 1996.
