However, QUALCOMM appealed this denial, and in July 1999 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit granted QUALCOMM's appeal and ordered the FCC to grant QUALCOMM a pioneer's preference license. The pioneer's preference regulations were codified at 47 C.F.R. 0.241, 1.402, and 5.207 (1996). See Establishment of Procedures to Provide a Preference, GEN Docket No. 90-217, Report and Order, 6 FCC Rcd 3488 (1991), recon. granted in part, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 7 FCC Rcd 1808 (1992), further recon. denied, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 8 FCC Rcd 1659 (1993). In October 1993, the Commission initiated a review of the pioneer's preference rules; see

However, QUALCOMM appealed this denial, and in July 1999 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit granted QUALCOMM's appeal and ordered the FCC to grant QUALCOMM a pioneer's preference license. The pioneer's preference regulations were codified at 47 C.F.R. 0.241, 1.402, and 5.207 (1996). See Establishment of Procedures to Provide a Preference, GEN Docket No. 90-217, Report and Order, 6 FCC Rcd 3488 (1991), recon. granted in part, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 7 FCC Rcd 1808 (1992), further recon. denied, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 8 FCC Rcd 1659 (1993).

However, QUALCOMM appealed this denial, and in July 1999 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit granted QUALCOMM's appeal and ordered the FCC to grant QUALCOMM a pioneer's preference license. The pioneer's preference regulations were codified at 47 C.F.R. 0.241, 1.402, and 5.207 (1996). See Establishment of Procedures to Provide a Preference, GEN Docket No. 90-217, Report and Order, 6 FCC Rcd 3488 (1991), recon. granted in part, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 7 FCC Rcd 1808 (1992), further recon. denied, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 8 FCC Rcd 1659 (1993). In October 1993, the Commission initiated a review of the pioneer's preference rules; see

However, QUALCOMM appealed this denial, and in July 1999 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit granted QUALCOMM's appeal and ordered the FCC to grant QUALCOMM a pioneer's preference license. The pioneer's preference regulations were codified at 47 C.F.R. 0.241, 1.402, and 5.207 (1996).

However, QUALCOMM appealed this denial, and in July 1999 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit granted QUALCOMM's appeal and ordered the FCC to grant QUALCOMM a pioneer's preference license. The pioneer's preference regulations were codified at 47 C.F.R. 0.241, 1.402, and 5.207 (1996). See Establishment of Procedures to Provide a Preference, GEN Docket No. 90-217, Report and Order, 6 FCC Rcd 3488 (1991), recon. granted in part, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 7 FCC Rcd 1808 (1992), further recon. denied, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 8 FCC Rcd 1659 (1993).

However, QUALCOMM appealed this denial, and in July 1999 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit granted QUALCOMM's appeal and ordered the FCC to grant QUALCOMM a pioneer's preference license. The pioneer's preference regulations were codified at 47 C.F.R. 0.241, 1.402, and 5.207 (1996).

However, QUALCOMM appealed this denial, and in July 1999 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit granted QUALCOMM's appeal and ordered the FCC to grant QUALCOMM a pioneer's preference license. The pioneer's preference regulations were codified at 47 C.F.R. 0.241, 1.402, and 5.207 (1996).

However, QUALCOMM appealed this denial, and in July 1999 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit granted QUALCOMM's appeal and ordered the FCC to grant QUALCOMM a pioneer's preference license. The pioneer's preference regulations were codified at 47 C.F.R. 0.241, 1.402, and 5.207 (1996). See Establishment of Procedures to Provide a Preference, GEN Docket No. 90-217, Report and Order, 6 FCC Rcd 3488 (1991), recon. granted in part, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 7 FCC Rcd 1808 (1992), further recon. denied, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 8 FCC Rcd 1659 (1993). In October 1993, the Commission initiated a review of the pioneer's preference rules; see
