Thank you for your leiter regarding processing of applications to assign wireless licenses
from Verizon Wireless to Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc. ("AT ") in WT Docket 0.09-119. I
also appreciate your taking the time to talk with me about this issue.

Commission's November 2008 order.
I understand concerns that the current approach to such divestitures may not provide
optimal opportunities for new entrants. I take these concerns very seriously and will work with
you to improve the process. I look forward to working with you as well as with my fellow
Commissioners on these impoltant issues. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any
