the auction of seven licenses to provide cellular service in unserved

23, 2002, the Policy and Rules Branch of the Commercial Wireless

approved the Joint Motion for Dismissal and Approval of Settlement 
(``Settlement Agreement'') filed by WWC License L.L.C. and WWC Holding 
Co, Inc., both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Western Wireless

of the applications that were filed, thus eliminating the need to 
conduct this auction.
