THE FOLLOWING APPLICATION FOR INTERIM OPERATING AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE SERVICE TO THE RSA PENDING THE GRANT OF PERMANENT AUTHORITY TO ANOTHER CARRIER HAS BEEN GRANTED. File No. 02049-CL-CP-95 Date Granted: 3/3/95 Station KNKP971 Market 672A - TX 21 Name: Galveston Cellular Telephone Company This authorization is granted only to permit interim operations within the specified market until a permanent authorization is granted and that permittee is ready to begin providing service to the public. The interim authorization is granted because the initial lottery winner's application in this market has been dismissed, leading to a lengthy period of time before service can be provided to the public, and the public interest requires the early establishment of a competing cellular service in this market and protection to competition in the adjacent market. The existing licensee in the adjacent market on the same block of frequencies appears to be the most efficient provider of interim service to the public. This interim authorization is expressly contingent on the interim operator complying with the following conditions: 1. Construction and operation pursuant to this authorization is at the interim operator's own risk. The interim operator may not demand any compensation for its expenses for construction or operation pursuant to this authorization from the permanent licensee. Nothing in this authorization requires the interim operator to sell its equipment to the permanent licensee. 2. The interim operator must fully cooperate with the permanent licensee in effectuating a smooth transition to the provision of service in the market by the permanent licensee without disruption of service to the public. The interim operator must cease operations in the market on the date of initiation of permanent service or within 30 days of written notice by the permanent permittee to the interim operator of the day and time that it intends to initiate service, whichever date occurs later. 3. This authorization may only be transferred in conjunction with the transfer of the authorization in the adjacent market and then only after approval is obtained from the Commission. This authorization must be identified as an interim operation authorization in the transfer application filed with the Commission. 4. The interim operator must cooperate with the permanent licensee in transferring the customer base associated with the market to the permanent licensee, but only in accordance with subscriber decisions and good faith negotiations on terms and conditions of the transfer. The interim operator shall not interfere with the permanent licensee's efforts to transfer subscribers associated with the market to the permanent licensee. The interim operator may only recover from the permanent licensee the interim operator's direct costs in originally obtaining a transferred subscriber, i.e., payments made to agents or employees that are directly attributable to a transferring customer. The interim operator shall maintain records of sufficient detail to permit an audit that such direct costs have been incurred with respect to a particular subscriber. These authorizations do not convey to the licensee the right to receive protection from the capture of subscriber traffic, co-channel interference or first-adjacent-channel interference in any area outside of the authorized Cellular Geographic Service Area (CGSA) of the system. Moreover, any facility authorized herein with a service area boundary (SAB) extending into the CGSA of any other operating cellular system on the same channel block, regardless of when such other cellular system was/is authorized, is subject to the following condition: In the event that the licensee of the other cellular system requests that the SAB of the facilities authorized herein be removed from its CGSA, the licensee herein must reduce transmitting power or antenna height (or both) as necessary to remove the SAB from the CGSA, unless written consent from the licensee of the other cellular system, allowing the SAB extension, is obtained. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- File No. 02723-CL-MP-95 Station KNKA259 Market 39B - Salt Lake City-Ogden Name: U S West NewVection Group, Inc.
