          WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUREAU ANNOUNCES
        BROADBAND PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES (PCS)
                C BLOCK UNCONDITIONAL ELECTIONS

This Public Notice announces the status of those elections made by PCS C block licensees that
were given an opportunity to resubmit their June 8, 1998, elections without any conditions
attached.  On June 16, 1998, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau announced the results of
the PCS C Block Elections and identified a number of C block licensees that filed elections
containing conditional language.  See Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Announces Personal
Communications Service C Block Elections, Public Notice, DA 98-1168 (released June 16,
1998). The conditional filings were rejected as non-responsive and were not processed.  

All conditional elections were resubmitted without the conditions with the exception of GWI PCS
1, Inc. through GWI PCS 14, Inc. (GWI Licensees).  (See Appendix A for a listing of the
accepted elections without conditions.)  All of GWI Licensees' elections are therefore defective. 

All elections are subject to the procedures described in the Second Report and Order, Order on
Reconsideration and the Implementation Procedures Public Notice. 

Appendix B provides a list of the spectrum returned to the Commission through the election
process that is available for reauction at this time.

Copies of the election filings are available from the Commission's Internet site
(www.fcc.gov/wtb/uls), the Wireless Telecommunication Bureau's Public Reference Room, 2025
