This letter accompanies an application for a <br />Conditional I4se Permit that will allow the location of a PCS wireless telephone <br />communication tower with antennas and cell site at 14622 Ferret St. NW, Ramsey, MN. <br />I have been authorized by APT to act as their representative for planning and zoning <br />matters. <br /> <br />APT is a subs/diary of Telephone and Data Systems, Inc.

TDS is a Chicago- <br />based telecommunications company which provides cellular telephone, local telephone <br />and radio paging services to more than 1.9 million customers in 37 states and the District <br />of Columbia through its subsidiaries, United States Cellular Corporation, TDS <br />TelecommuniCations Corporation and American Paging, Inc.

Last year, APT <br />was granted a-license by the Federal Communications Commission to operate a PCS <br />Wireless Phone System in the Twin City market area and five other major markets in the <br />United States.: PCS is one of the newest emerging low-power wireless technologies that <br />will compete with cellular and local-phone service. PCS will look, sound and work better <br />than traditional cellular and will also have the advantage of being able to provide paging, <br />fleet dispatch data and video transmission all with one portable hand held phone. PCS <br />wireless is digital and can handle more calls per channel than traditional cellular and <br />transmits at lower watts. <br /> <br />1040 Crown Pointe Parkway ,, Suite 800 · Atlanta, Georgia 30338 · (770) 481-2100 · Fax (770) 481-2150 <br /> <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />
