U S WEST Communications has won <br /> 53 licenses for a total of $57 million. We have money on deposit with the FCC <br /> to cover 20% of our winning bids and will be paying the remainder of the $57 <br /> million when the licenses are granted. The applications for those licenses were <br /> filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on January 30, <br /> 1997, along with applications from all the other winning bidders. We expect that <br /> FCC review and processing will take about three months, the same'as for the <br /> prior PCS .auctions. . <br /> Attached are pages from the FCC's Public Notice, dated January 15, 1997, <br /> showing U S WEST Communications as the high bidder in specific markets. <br /> U S WEST Communications is committed to providing wireless services. As an <br /> example of our commitment, we have had an experimental license in the <br /> Boulder, Colorado area since 1992 for testing and developing the PCS <br /> technology that we intend to deploy. We also have invested significant <br /> resources in building a staff to develop, implement, and market wireless <br /> services. <br /> If you have questions.about the status of our license applications with the FCC, <br /> please call Marty Dickerson, 303-294-1613.. <br /> attachment <br />
