         ANNOUNCING THE WINNING BIDDERS IN THE FCC'S AUCTION OF
       99 LICENSES TO PROVIDE BROADBAND PCS IN MAJOR TRADING AREAS;
                     DOWN PAYMENTS DUE MARCH 20, 1995



       On March 13, 1995, the Commission completed its auction of 99 licenses to provide
Personal Communications Services in the 2 GHz band (broadband PCS), raising a total of
$7,736,020,384.  The winning bidders and the licenses each winning bidder has won are listed
in Attachment A hereto.  This attachment also lists the amounts that Omnipoint Corporation,
Cox Communications, Inc., and American Personal Communications, L.P., will be required to
pay for their licenses under the pioneer's preference program.

       Each winning bidder must submit to the Commission's lock-box bank sufficient
additional funds to bring its total deposits with the government to twenty (20) percent of the
sum of its winning bids by Monday, March 20, 1995.  All payments must be made in U.S.
dollars, must be in the form of a wire transfer or cashier's check, and must be made
payable to the "Federal Communications Commission" or "FCC."  No other form of
payment will be accepted.  Cashier's checks must be drawn on a financial institution
whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).  All
payments, whether by wire transfer or cashier's check, must be made to the Mellon
Bank in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  Payments made by cashier's check must be received
by 11:59 pm Eastern Time, Monday, March 20, 1995.   Payments made by wire transfer
must be received by 6:00 pm Eastern Time, Monday, March 20, 1995.  Bidders making
payments by wire transfer should allow sufficient time for the wire transfer to be
initiated and for the transmission to be completed prior to the deadline.

       Down payments must be accompanied by a completed FCC Remittance Advice (FCC
Form 159).  Bidders making payments by wire transfer must fax a completed FCC Form 159
to Mellon Bank at (412) 236-5702 at least one hour prior to placing the order for the wire
transfer (but on the same business day).  Additional instructions for making auction payments
are contained in the Procedures, Terms and Conditions for this auction, which were included
in the Bidder's Information Package.

       Winning bidders must specify each license won as a separate item on FCC Form
159 (use continuation sheet (FCC Form 159-C) if necessary).  Bidders should include the
"License No." designation(s) for each license (which are included in the attachment
hereto) in Block 18 (FCC Code 2) of FCC Form 159.  A bidder that has won multiple
licenses must calculate the down payment applicable to each license separately by
applying a portion of its upfront payment to each of the licenses won prorated on the
basis of the amount of each winning bid relative to the sum of its winning bids. 
A sample FCC Form 159 showing the proration method to be used to calculate proper down
payment amounts was included in the Bidder's Information Package for this auction.  (Note:
The sample FCC Form 159 does not include the required License No. designations in
block 18.)  Questions concerning the calculation and submission of down payments should be
directed to Regina Dorsey, Chief of the Billings and Collections Branch, at (202) 418-1995.

       Winning bidders who do not submit the required down payment by the specified
deadline will be considered in default.  An entity in default will be assessed a penalty equal
to the difference between its winning bid and the winning bid the next time the license is
offered by the Commission.  An additional penalty equal to three percent of the lesser of the
subsequent winning bid or the defaulting bidder's winning bid will also be assessed.  See
Section 24.704 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  24.704.

       Winning bidders also must timely submit a properly completed FCC application
for a broadband PCS license (FCC Form 600) within ten (10) business days after
issuance of a Public Notice to be released shortly that will include detailed instructions
on filing the FCC Form 600.

       Once a winning bidder has submitted its down payment and filed the FCC Form 600
long-form application, the Commission will conduct a preliminary review of the application. 
If it is acceptable, the Commission will release a Public Notice announcing the acceptance for
filing of the FCC Form 600.  The release of this Public Notice will mark the start of a 30-day
period during which interested parties will have the opportunity to file petitions challenging
the winning bidder's qualifications to become a licensee.  The acceptance of an application for
filing does not preclude subsequent return, dismissal or denial of that application.

       After a detailed review of a winning bidder's FCC Form 600 application and any
petitions filed against it, the FCC will determine whether there exist any reasons why the
license should not be granted; if there are none, it will grant the license.  Each grantee will
be required to pay the remainder of its winning bid amount within five (5) business days
after grant of the license.  All license grants will be conditioned on full and timely payment
of the bid price.
