1. In this Order, we adopt the attached Consent Decree entered into between the 
Enforcement Bureau (“Bureau”) of the Federal Communications Commission (“Commission”) and 
Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless (“Verizon Wireless”).  The Consent Decree terminates an 
investigation against Verizon Wireless for possible violations of Section 201(b) of the Communications 
Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 201(b), and Section 64.2401 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. 
§ 64.2401.    
2. The Bureau and Verizon Wireless have negotiated the terms of a Consent Decree that 
resolves this matter.  A copy of the Consent Decree is attached hereto and incorporated by reference.  
3. After reviewing the terms of the Consent Decree and evaluating the facts before us, we 
find that the public interest would be served by adopting the Consent Decree and terminating the 
referenced investigation.
4. In the absence of material new evidence relating to this matter, we conclude that our 
investigation raises no substantial or material questions of fact as to whether Verizon Wireless possesses 
the basic qualifications, including those related to character, to hold or obtain any Commission license or 
authorization.    
5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to section 4(i) of the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 154(i), and the authority delegated by sections 0.111 and 0.311 of the 
Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.111 and 0.311, that the Consent Decree attached to this Order IS 
ADOPTED.
