Butler comments that the report from the independent consultant was received today
(December 15, 1997) at approximately 3:45 pm. The report from the consultant states

the report was received so late in the day, the applicant may wish to ask that the item be
continued. Thus giving them time to review the report and provide rebuttal if necessary.
Kim Garrick, representing AT&T Wireless Services, would like the item continued so
that they may review the consultants report. Garrick requests the item be continued to the
January 5, 1998 meeting. Discussion between Mr. Garrick and Commission regarding
