  • On the basis of this record, therefore, we conclude that Applicants have furnished sufficient grounds for us to conclude that this transaction will provide meaningful public interest benefits. Narrowband PCS Multiple Ownership Restriction Applicants request a temporary waiver of the Commission's narrowband PCS ownership restriction, pending the outcome of an ongoing rulemaking involving the narrowband PCS rules. The current Section 24.101(a) limits each narrowband PCS licensee to holding a five-percent or greater ownership interest in no more than three of the 26 channels in any geographic area. For the reasons discussed below, we grant Applicants a temporary waiver of Section 24.101. The proposed transfers of control would consolidate PageNet's two 50/50 kHz narrowband PCS networks and one unpaired 50 kHz channel

Given that the C block auction began on December 18, 1995, Radiophone is incorrect in suggesting that such a proceeding could be completed before the commencement of the C block auction.4 4.
