Adopted March 31, 1986 Released April 11, 1986 By the Common Carrier Bureau;: 1. The Commission is considering an application, filed on November 7, 1985 and amended on March 13 and 25, 1986, by US Telecom, Inc. : (US Telecom) requesting authority to acquire and operate facilities for provision of switched voice service, packet switching services and INTELSAT Business Services (IBS) between the United States and Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Italy, Japan, Spain, France, Hong Kong, South Korea, Panama, Nicaraqua, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Netherlands and Belgiium. The application was placed on public notice on November 20, 1985. No coamments were received. 2. US Telecom is a subsidiary of United Telecommunications, Inc., which has three other subsidiaries providing common carrier services.l 1 US Telecom—Corporate Network Services Co. (formerly ISACOM, Inc.) is authorized to provide data services between the US and the UK—Canada (File Nos. I—T—C—84—167 released Octcber 29, 1984 and I—T—C—84—201

US Telecom‘s predecessor, United Telecom Communications, Inc., has been granted authority to construct a domestic fiber optic network, and US Telecom is also a domestic common carrier subject to requlation pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934. The Commission has previously determined that the growing volume of international traffic supports increased competition and has established a policy favoring the entry of new carriers for switched voice service and other international communications services under these circumstances.2 We find upon the facts presented in the instant application that US Telecom is qualified to provide international switched voice service and packet switching services. We further conclude that added competition resulting from the provision of these services by US Telecom is reasonably feasible and that such competition will result in public benefits such as savings to ratepayers, broadened custamer choice, service innovation, and the efficient use of resources.3 3. US Telecom‘s request for blanket authority to provide IBS service is essentially the same as the blanket authority that was qgranted to Vitalink International Communications, Inc., File No. I—T—C—84—136 on November 7, 1984. There we decided that blanket Section 214 authorizations would further the Commission‘s policy of introducing IBS in the United States as soon as possible and provide benefits to both new entrants and established carriers.4 We conclude a grant of blanket IBS authority released December 13, 1984). US Telecom—Data Communications Co. ({formerly UNINET, Inc.) provides packet switching services both domestically and internationally and US Telecom—Communications Services .0. (formerly US Telephone, Inc.) provides switched voice service in the U.S. 2 See the cases cited in Teltec Saving Cormunications Co., Mimeo No. 3548, (released April 4, 1986) at n. 2. 3 FCC v.

to US Telecom would be consistent with this policy and is in the public interest. 4. For the foregoing reasons, IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED that the present and future public comvenience and necessity require the provision of the services authorized herein to various overseas points by US Telecom. 5. Accordingly, TT IS CRDERED that application File No. I—T—C—86—023 IS GRANTED, and US Telecom is authorized to: a. lease fran Comsat channels of communication between any earth station that may be licensed for provision of IBS services in the future, including existing earth stations, and appropriate aNTELSAT Atlantic or Pacific Ocean region satellites for the provision of IBS and digital video services between the United States and those points listed in the Appendix hereto, provided, however, that this authorization is without commitment as to the Commission‘s action on any IBS earth station Title III applications that applicants may file in the future; and b. lease from Comsat and operate the nmbers of satellite voice circuits listed in the Appendix between an appropriate east or west coast US earth station and an appropriate AOR or POR satellite connecting with similar circuits between the satellite and earth stations at the > various points furnished by overseas correspondents for provision of switched voice services and packet switching services between the United States and points specified in the Appendix and beyond. 6.
