I. INTRODUCTION
Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless ("Verizon Wireless"), and Leap Wireless International
Inc. ("Leap Wireless"),] collectively, the "Applicants," have filed a series of applications pursuant to
Section 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.2 seeking approval to assign spectrum
licenses. The Applicants request consent to assign the 700 MHz Lower Band Block A license for the
Chicago BEA from Verizon Wireless to Leap Wireless.3 In addition, Leap Wireless will assign to
Verizon Wireless 23 PCS licenses and 13 AWS-1 licenses in full; disaggregated portions of one PCS
license and one AWS-1 license; and partitioned portions of three AWS-1 licenses.
The Applicants state that the assignment of licenses will enable Verizon Wireless to add spectrum
capacity in some markets that will help address the rapidly growing demand of its customers for
broadband wireless services. The Applicants also state that Leap Wireless is in need of the additional
spectrum in the Chicago area to expand its service offerings and to deploy LTE network technology,
which will allow it to offer improved broadband data services and to continue to compete with other
carriers in that market. Finally, the Applicants explain that the proposed transactions involve the sale of
