ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Upon consideration of appellee's motion for summary affirmance, the response thereto, and the reply, and the notice of intention to intervene, the response thereto, and the reply, it is

ORDERED that the motion for summary affirmance be granted substantially for the reasons stated by appellee Federal Communications Commission in its memorandum opinion and order released March 20, 1990. Satellite Cellular Systems, FCC 90-96 (released March 20, 1990). The merits of the parties' positions are so clear as to justify summary action. See Cascade Broadcasting Group, Ltd. v. FCC, 822 F.2d 1172, 1174 (D.C.Cir.1987) (per curiam); Walker v. Washington, 627 F.2d 541, 545 (D.C.Cir.) (per curiam), cert. denied, 449 U.S. 994 (1980). It is

FURTHER ORDERED that the notice of intention to intervene be dismissed as moot.

The Clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after disposition of any timely petition for rehearing. See D.C.Cir. Rule 15.
