Re: Application for Withdrawal of Registration Statement on Form S-1 File
No. 333-37516
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477(a) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, our client, Horizon PCS, Inc. (the "Registrant"), hereby applies for an
order granting immediate withdrawal of its Registration Statement on Form S-1,
File No. 333-37516, together with all exhibits and amendments thereto (the
"Registration Statement"). The Registration Statement was originally filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on May 22, 2000 and
subsequently amended on June 30, July 19, August 23, September 1 and November 1,
2000.
The Registrant is requesting such withdrawal because of unfavorable market
conditions that would adversely affect the offering of the shares of common
stock, par value $0.0001 per share, covered by the Registration Statement. No
securities were sold or will be sold under the Registration Statement.
The Registrant further requests that, pursuant to Rule 477(c), an order
with the date of the granting of the withdrawal be included in the file for the
Registration Statement in the following manner: "Withdrawn upon the request of
the Registrant, the Commission consenting thereto."

withdrawal, please contact the undersigned at (404) 873-8706. Thank you for your
