Adopted:  February 16, 1999             Released:  February 17, 1999

By the Chief, Public Safety and Private Wireless Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:

     1.  On March 12, 1996, Milliwave Limited Partnership (Milliwave) filed a Motion to Withdraw its
Petition to Dismiss applications filed by Commco L.L.C. (Commco) requesting authorization to operate
systems in the 38.6 to 40.0 GHz (39 GHz) band in Savannah, Georgia and Portland, Maine.  For the reasons
set forth herein, we grant Milliwave's Motion to Withdraw.  

     2.  By way of background, on May 10, 1995 and June 7, 1995, Milliwave applied for 39 GHz station
authorizations in the Point-to-Point Microwave Service in the areas of Savannah, Georgia and Manchester,
New Hampshire, respectively.  Commco filed competing applications on June 14, 1995 for Savannah, Georgia
and on July 19, 1995 for Portland, Maine.  On August 18, 1995, Milliwave filed a Petition to Dismiss the
competing Commco applications.  On November 11, 1995, Commco filed minor amendments to its
applications reducing its channel pair request and resolving the mutual exclusivity conflicts with the Milliwave
applications.  On March 12, 1996, Milliwave filed a Motion to Withdraw its Petition to Dismiss, explaining
that Commco's amendments, filed November 11, 1995, resolved all mutual exclusivity issues and that further
Commission action regarding the matter was not necessary.  We agree that the Motion to Dismiss is now
moot.  Thus, Milliwave's Motion to Withdraw is hereby granted.

     3.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that pursuant to Sections 4(i) and 5(c) of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), 155(c), the Motion to Withdraw filed by Milliwave Limited
Partnership on March 12, 1996 IS GRANTED.

     4.  This action is taken under delegated authority pursuant to sections 0.131 and 0.331 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.131, 0.331.
