DoCoMo Pacific, Inc. (DoCoMo or the "Petitioner") requests that the Commission extend its existing declaratory ruling under section 310(b)(4)
of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), to cover Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) licenses it is acquiring from McCotter
Hotel Operations, Inc., see ULS File Nos. 0004819444 and 0004840781, and any additional AWS licenses it may later acquire through
competitive bidding or in the secondary markets.
The Petitioner maintains that the Commission previously approved DoCoMo's foreign ownership structure pursuant to section 310(b)(4) of the
Communications Act, citing Applications of Guam Cellular and Paging, Inc. and DoCoMo Guam Holdings, Inc., WT Docket No. 06-96, FCC
06-167, Memorandum Opinion and Order and Declaratory Ruling, 21 FCC Rcd 13580 (2006).   Petitioner states that its current ruling allows
indirect foreign ownership by NTT DoCoMo, Inc. and its Japanese shareholders (up to and including 100% of the equity and voting interests)
with the exception of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT); by NTT and its Japanese shareholders, through NTT's investment in
NTT DoCoMo (up to and including 62.15% of the equity and voting interests), with the exception of the Japan Ministry of Finance; and by the
Japan Ministry of Finance, through its investment in NTT (up to and including 23.95% of the equity interests and 38.53% of the voting interests)
citing Memorandum Opinion and Order and Declaratory Ruling, 21 FCC Rcd at 13614.  Petitioner states that its foreign ownership has not
materially changed since the grant of that ruling.
According to the Petitioner, DoCoMo is a corporation organized under the laws of Guam and wholly owned by DoCoMo Holdings, Inc., a U.S.
corporation which, in turn, is wholly owned by NTT DoCoMo, Inc., a Japanese company which is publicly traded.  NTT, a publicly traded,
Japanese company, holds approximately 63.41% of the equity and voting interests of NTT DoCoMo and the remaining 37.59% is held by
Japanese and overseas corporations and individuals, none of which holds a 5% or greater interest.  According to the Petitioner, at least 75 % of
NTT DoCoMo's outstanding shares are held by entities from World Trade Organization (WTO) Member countries.  Petitioner states that the
Japanese government holds approximately 38.41% of the equity and voting interests in NTT and thus approximately 24.35% of the interests in
DoCoMo.  The remaining 61.59% of NTT stock is owned by Japanese and overseas corporations and individuals, none of which individually
holds a five percent or greater ownership interest.  NTT's outstanding shares are held at least 75% by entities from WTO Member countries.
The Petitioner asserts that, pursuant to the policies established by the Commission's Foreign Participation Order, 12 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000), the
public interest would be served by allowing DoCoMo to acquire AWS licenses in Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands
for the same reasons applicable to DoCoMo's ruling issued in the Memorandum Opinion and Order and Declaratory Ruling, 21 FCC Rcd 13580.
