Item 5.  Other Events

         LMDS Purchase Agreement

         CellularVision  USA, Inc. (the  "Company") and WinStar  Communications,
Inc.  ("WinStar") have executed an amendment (the  "Amendment") to the Agreement
to  Purchase  LMDS  License,  dated  as of July 10,  1998  (the  "LMDS  Purchase
Agreement"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated
by  reference  herein.  The  Amendment  provides for an extension of the date by
which stockholder  approval of the LMDS Purchase Agreement must be obtained from
October 10, 1998 to October 20,  1998.  As a result of such  amendment,  WinStar
will not have the right to terminate the LMDS Purchase  Agreement as a result of
the failure of the Company to obtain  stockholder  approval of the LMDS Purchase
Agreement unless such approval is not obtained by October 20, 1998. In addition,
as amended by the Amendment, the LMDS Purchase Agreement no longer requires that
the  Company  hold a meeting of its  stockholders  in order to approve  the LMDS
Purchase  Agreement,  thereby allowing the Company to obtain the written consent
of its stockholders in lieu of a meeting pursuant to Section 228 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law. The Company currently is soliciting the written consent
of its stockholders  for approval of the  transactions  contemplated by the LMDS
Purchase Agreement.
