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

       1.      Ameritech Corporation ("Ameritech"), filed the above-captioned formal complaint
against MCI Telecommunications Corporation ("MCI") on April 24, 1997.  In the complaint,
Ameritech alleged that MCI violated Section 271(e)(1) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C.   271(e)(1), and the Commission's rules by representing in its advertising
that MCI may offer bundled packages of interLATA and local exchange services, and that MCI
may sell such services in one transaction.  MCI filed its Answer on June 2, 1997, in which it
denied the allegations contained in the complaint.  The parties thereafter entered into negotiations
in an effort to settle the matters in controversy.  By joint motion filed June 29, 1998, the parties
advised the Federal Communications Commission ("Commission") that they had reached a
mutually satisfactory settlement, and requested that the complaint be dismissed with prejudice. 

       2.      We are satisfied that the parties have, in their joint motion, demonstrated good
cause for dismissal of the above-captioned complaint.  We are also satisfied that dismissal of the
complaint will serve the public interest by eliminating the need for further litigation and the
expenditure of further time and resources by the Commission and the parties.

       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 by Sections 0.291 and 0.91 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.291,
0.91, that the Joint Motion to Dismiss the above-captioned complaint with prejudice IS
GRANTED.

       4.      IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the above-captioned complaint IS DISMISSED
WITH PREJUDICE and the proceeding IS TERMINATED.
