BellSouth Corp. said Tuesday it had been awarded one of three licenses
to provide cellular telephone service in New Zealand.

Two consortiums identified as Ready Form No. 43 Ltd. and Write or
Wrong Ltd. won the other licenses.

A spokeswoman for BellSouth, based in Atlanta, said the company did
not know what companies had sponsored these applications.

The New Zealand Commerce Ministry, the agency that issued the
licenses, could not be reached for comment.
