 The  FCC  also  denied  a  Petition  for  Reconsideration  of  its  denial  of  a  request  for  forbearance  from  the  resale  rule  filed  by  the  Broadband  Personal  Communications  Services 
 Alliance  of  the  Personal  Communications  Industry  Association  (PCIA),  pursuant  to  Section  10(  a)  of  the  Communications  Act.  Although  competition  continues  to  develop  in  the  wireless 
 telephony  market,  conditions  are  not  sufficiently  different  to  support  a  change  in  the  sunset  date  of  the  resale  rule. 


 Action  by  the  Commission  September  15,  1999,  by  Memorandum  Opinion  and  Order  on  Reconsideration  (FCC  99-  250).  Chairman  Kennard,  Commissioners  Ness  and  Tristani,  with 
 Commissioners  Furchtgott-  Roth  and  Powell  concurring  in  part,  dissenting  in  part  and  issuing  separate  statements.
