Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 September 15, 2009 DA 09-2051 Nadja S. Sodos-Wallace Senior Regulatory Counsel, Assistant Secretary Clearwire Corporation 815 Connecticut Avenue, N.W., Suite 610 Washington, D.C. 20006 RE: WT Docket No. 06-136 Request for Extension of Time PCTV Gold, LLC Transition of the 2500-2690 MHz Band Transition Area: BTA Number 272: Madison, WI Dear Ms. Sodos-Wallace: On March 19, 20091 and August 25, 2009,2 PCTV Gold, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clearwire Corporation (together “Clearwire”), filed Requests for Extension of Time to complete the transition for the Madison, Wisconsin Basic Trading Area (BTA) Number 272. For the reasons discussed below, we grant Clearwire’s request and extend the deadline for completing the transition in the Madison, Wisconsin BTA Number 272 to March 15, 2010. Clearwire filed its Transition Initiation Plan for the Madison BTA on June 21, 2007.3 According to the Commission’s Rules, Clearwire was required to complete the transition by March 20, 2009.4 Clearwire states that it has encountered an unexpected delay in receiving delivery of the studio-to- transmitter link equipment required to complete the transition.5 We find that Clearwire has shown good cause for an extension. It appears that no party would be prejudiced by a grant of this extension, particularly since licensees can continue operating pursuant to the old band plan until the transition is completed. We note that copies of the requests were served on the affected licensees, and no oppositions were filed. Thus, we grant Clearwire an extension of time to transition the Madison, Wisconsin BTA until March 15, 2010. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 4(i) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 154(i), and Sections 1.46 and 27.1232(b)(1)(vi) of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.46, 27.1232(b)(1)(vi) that the Request for Extension of Time filed by Clearwire on March 19, 1 Letter from Nadja S. Sodos-Wallace, Clearwire Corporation, to Office of the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, WT Docket No. 06-136 (filed Mar. 19, 2009) (Clearwire First Letter). 2 Letter from Nadja S. Sodos-Wallace, Clearwire Corporation, to Office of the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, WT Docket No. 06-136 (filed Aug. 25, 2009) (Clearwire Second Letter). 3 See Initiation Plans Filed in WT Docket No. 06-136, Public Notice, 22 FCC Rcd 11651 (WTB 2007) at 3. 4 See 47 C.F.R. §§ 27.1232(a) and (b)(1)(vi). 5 Clearwire First Letter at 1; Clearwire Second Letter at 1-2. Nadja S. Sodos-Wallace 2 2009 IS GRANTED, and the time for completing the transition in the Madison, Wisconsin Basic Trading Area (BTA 272) IS EXTENDED TO March 15, 2010. This action is taken under delegated authority pursuant to Sections 0.131 and 0.331 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.131, 0.331. Sincerely yours, John J. Schauble Deputy Chief, Broadband Division Wireless Telecommunications Bureau
