Report No. AUC-49 (Auction No. 49)
On June 13, 2003, the Federal Communications Commission completed the auction of 256 
licenses in the Lower 700 MHz band C and D blocks.1 After a preliminary review of the long-form 
applications (FCC Form 601), the applications were listed on public notice, dated September 10, 2003, as 
accepted for filing.2  On February 28, 2007, the Bureau announced it was prepared to grant the 
Westelcom Network, Inc. (“Westelcom”) application upon full and timely payment.3 Upon further 
review, we find that the application filed by Westelcom, listed in Attachment A to this Public Notice, is
complete and conforms to the Commission’s rules.  Furthermore, the Commission has received full 
payment, as required by Section 1.2109(a) of its rules,4 for the licenses listed in Attachment A.5
Accordingly, by this Public Notice, we announce the grant of the licenses listed in Attachment A.  
We grant these licenses pursuant to Section 309(a) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 309(a), and 
section 0.331 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 0.331, because it will serve the public interest,
