Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Sponsors Auctions Forum 
             For Bidders Who Participated in MDS, 900 MHz SMR and PCS Auctions 


To continually enhance the Commission's auctions process, the Wireless Telecommunications
Bureau will sponsor a post-auction forum for bidders who participated in the recently completed
Multipoint Distribution Service, 900 MHz Specialized Mobile Radio Service and Personal
Communications Service (PCS) "C" Block auctions.  The purpose of this forum is to receive
feedback from bidders on the auctions process and their experiences.  In addition, bidders are
encouraged to use this forum to present specific recommendations for improving the operational
components of the auctions process.  Among the general topics to be discussed are information
dissemination, application processing and payment, and the overall conduct of the auctions.  Key
FCC staff will be available to answer questions.

The post-auction forum will be held on Monday, June 24, 1996 at 3:30 p.m., at the Federal
Communications Commission, 1919 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., Room 856.  Space is
limited.  Interested parties are encouraged to call for reservations by contacting Ruby Hough at
(202) 418-0696 or Lisa Minard at (202) 418-0695.
