               Respondent.    :    EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
______________________________:

                                I.

     The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") deems
it appropriate and in the public interest to institute
administrative proceedings against Thomas H. Ehrlich
("Respondent") pursuant to Section 15(b)(6) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act").

     In anticipation of the institution of this proceeding,
Respondent has submitted an Offer of Settlement, which the
Commission has determined to accept.  Solely for the purpose of
this proceeding and any other proceeding brought by or on behalf
of the Commission or to which the Commission is a party, and
without admitting or denying the Commission's findings contained
herein, except the Commission's finding that a Final Judgment of
Permanent Injunction and Other Equitable Relief has been entered
against him as set forth in Section III., which is admitted,
Respondent consents to the entry of findings and the imposition
of the remedial sanctions set forth below.

                               II.

     The Commission finds the following:-[1]-

     A.   During 1993 and 1994, Respondent sold membership
interests in Southern Tennessee Wireless Cable, Limited Liability
Company ("Southern Tennessee") and Greater Columbia Basin
Wireless, Limited Liability Company ("Greater Columbia"), while
acting as the sales manager of Pacific Wireless Communications,

---------FOOTNOTES----------
     -[1]-     The findings herein are made pursuant to Ehrlich's
               Offer of Settlement and are not binding on any
               other person or entity named as a respondent or
               otherwise in this or any other proceeding.

Inc. and president of Kingsbury Communications, Inc., a
telemarketing company.

     B.   On May 7, 1996, the Commission filed a Complaint
against Respondent and others in SEC v. Future Vision Direct
Marketing, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 96-2107 (NHP) (D.N.J.).

On March 3, 1997, Ehrlich consented to the entry of a Final
Judgment of Permanent Injunction and Other Relief, without
admitting or denying the allegations in the Complaint, except
that he admitted subject matter jurisdiction.  On April 28, 1997,
the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey
entered a Final Judgment, permanently enjoining Ehrlich from
violating Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the Securities Act of
1933 and Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule
10b-5 thereunder and ordering Ehrlich to disgorge $154,500,
representing the amount that he received from the proceeds of
sales of units in Pacific Wireless Communications, Inc. and
Nationwide Wireless Corporation, but waiving payment of all but
$15,000 of such disgorgement and payment of any civil penalty
based on Ehrlich's demonstrated inability to pay.

     C.   The Complaint in SEC v. Future Vision Direct Marketing,
Inc., et al. alleges, among other things, that Ehrlich and others
fraudulently sold membership interests in Southern Tennessee and
Greater Columbia, entities which investors were told would
develop and operate wireless cable television systems.  The
Complaint further alleges that the interests sold by Ehrlich and
others were securities for which no registration statement was
filed or in effect, and that Ehrlich and the other defendants
knowingly made material misrepresentations and omissions in the
offer and sale of such securities, by, among other things,
providing unreasonable financial projections, misstating the use
of investors' funds, and failing to disclose the past criminal
and civil actions against the principals of the offering.

                               III.

                             FINDINGS

     Based on the foregoing, the Commission finds that Respondent
was permanently enjoined from violations of certain provisions of
the federal securities laws.

                               IV.

                       OFFER OF SETTLEMENT

     Respondent has submitted an Offer of Settlement to the
Commission in which, prior to a hearing pursuant to the
Commission's Rules of Practice, 17 C.F.R.  201.1 et seq., and
without admitting or denying any of the above, except that he
admits the jurisdiction of the Commission with respect to the

matters set forth herein, he consents to the issuance of this
Order barring him from association with any broker, dealer,
investment company, investment adviser, or municipal securities
dealer.  The Commission deems it appropriate and in the public
interest to accept Respondent's Offer of Settlement.

                                V.

                              ORDER

     Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, that Respondent is barred
from association with any broker, dealer, investment company,
investment adviser, or municipal securities dealer.

     By the Commission.
