("MobileMedia"), members of the Arch  X4 xCommunications Group, Inc. group of companies,MxBy yOQ' " ԍOn January 30, 1999, MobileMedia Communications, Inc., which was then a debtorinpossession, filed the  xQ initial informal complaint in this proceeding on behalf of itself and its operating affiliates. Pursuant to the Plan of  x Reorganization confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, on June 3, 1999, in connection with its emergence from  x bankruptcy, MobileMedia Communications, Inc., was merged into a successor corporation with the same name and  x  the business of MobileMedia was transferred to Mobile Communications Corporation of America. Both the  x MobileMedia successor and Mobile Communications Corporation of America are members of the Arch Communications Group, Inc. group of companies. M and Ameritech Corporation ("Ameritech")  X4 xfiled a joint motion requesting a waiver of section 1.718 of the Commission's rules.FBy yOz'ԍ47 C.F.R.  1.718.F Specifically,  xthe parties seek a waiver of section 1.718(a) which requires the filing of a formal complaint  X4 x}within six months of a carrier response to an informal complaint. Body Text "endnote reference"X1Í.X01ÍÍ [ yO"'ԍ#C\  P6Q/P#Section 1.718 states, in part, that a formal complaint  {Ol$' '   will be deemed to relate back to the filing date of [the original] informal complaint: Provided, That  J the formal complaint: (a) Is filed within 6 months from the date of the carrier's report, (b) makes  h reference to the date of the informal complaint, and (c) is based on the same cause of action as the   informal complaint. If no formal complaint is filed within the 6month period, the complainant"&0*''&" will be deemed to have abandoned the unsatisfied informal complaints.     x 47 C.F.R.  1.718. Ameritech filed a Report in response to MobileMedia's informal complaint on April 21, 1999.  x Thus, absent a waiver, MobileMedia will be obligated to file a formal complaint by October 21, 1999 in order to  yO'avail itself of the "relation back" provision contained in section 1.718.#XP\  P6QXP#ѣ For the reasons stated below,"x0*''GG" we grant the parties joint motion.  X4 e 2.` ` MobileMedia alleges in its informal complaint that Ameritech has violated the  xyCommunications Act of 1934, as amended, ("the Act") and the Commission's rules regarding  xinterconnection between local exchange carriers ("LECs") and Commercial Mobile Radio Service  x("CMRS") providers. MobileMedia's claims are similar to those asserted by other paging carriers  Xv4 x&in formal complaints against incumbent LECs ("Prior Proceedings").Bvx {O ' " ԍSee Airtouch v. PacBell, E97048; Message Center v. SNET, E98045; TSR Paging v. U S WEST, E98 x 013; Metrocall v. BellSouth, E98014; Metrocall v. GTE Telephone, E98015; Metrocall v. Pacific Bell, E98016;  x Metrocall v. Southwestern Bell, E98017; Metrocall v. U S WEST, E98018; Paging Network v. BellSouth, E98 x 021; USA Mobile v. Century Tel., E9838; MAP Mobile v. U S WEST, E9911; Arch v. U S WEST, E9905; Arch v. BellSouth, E9906. B Because some of the issues  x/raised by MobileMedia in its informal complaint are the same as the issues being considered by  xthe Commission in Prior Proceedings, the Prior Proceeding will bear directly on the resolution  x/of MobileMedia's informal complaint. Thus, the parties request a waiver of section 1.718(a) of  x_the Commission's Rules to the extent that it obligates MobileMedia to file a formal complaint  xEwith the Commission within six months from the date of Ameritech's Report in order for the  x/filing of any subsequent formal complaint against Ameritech to be deemed to relate back to the  xfiling dates of its informal complaint against Ameritech. Furthermore, the parties request that  xlthe waiver be effective from October 21, 1999 to include formal complaints that should have been filed by that date.  Xy4 e >3.` ` We are satisfied that granting the parties joint motion for waiver, effective  xOctober 15, 1999, will serve the public interest by eliminating the need for further litigation and  xexpenditure of time and resources by the parties and the Commission. The time for filing a  xcformal complaint is hereby waived until three months after a final nonappealable order has been  xentered in at least one of the Prior Proceedings resolving the issue of whether a LEC may charge  xca paging carrier that has not entered into an interconnection agreement pursuant to sections 251  x/and 252 of the Act for facilities used to deliver local traffic originating on the LEC's network to  x3the paging carrier. Absent a subsequent order of the Commission extending the requested waiver,  xMobileMedia's failure to file a formal complaint within the prescribed period will foreclose application of the relationback provision of section 1.718 of the Commission's Rules.  X|4 e 4.` ` Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to sections 4(i), 4(j), and 208 of the  xVCommunications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), 154(j), 208, and the authority delegated  xby sections 0.91 and 0.291 of the Commissions rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.91 and 0.291, that the joint  xhmotion for waiver of section 1.718(a) of the Commissions rules, 47 C.F.R.  1718(a), IS GRANTED. This waiver is effective as of October 21, 1999. ` p x (#` hp x (#" * ,))GG"Ԍ  XX` ` X XXhhCXqhhC ` ` \` `  hhCqFEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION(# XX` ` X XXhhCXqhhC ` ` \` `  hhCq(# XX` ` X XXhhCXqhhC ` ` \` `  hhCqRadhika V.
