                           Adopted: April 20, 1988 Released April 29, 1988
 **2461 By the Acting Chief, International Facilities Division:
 1. We have before us for consideration an application, filed on February 17, 1988, byHouston
Network, Inc. (HNI), requesting authority, pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, to resell the switched message telephone services of existing carriers to provide
international switched voice service between the U.S. and various overseas points. The application
was placed on public notice on March 2, 1988. No comments were received.
2. HNI, a Texas corporation, is already providing domestic resale services. It now proposes to resell
international switched voice services in competition with other carriers already providing resale of
such service. In recent authorizations of new entrants, the Commission has recognized that increased
competition in international markets is beneficial. [FN1] We find that the market will support
additional carriers and that the added competition will be in the public interest. [FN2]
3. For the foregoing reasons, IT IS CERTIFIED that the present and future convenience and necessity
require the provision of international switched voice services to the general public by HNI.
4. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that application File No. I—T—C—88—077 IS GRANTED and HNI is
authorized to provide international switched voice services by the resale of the international switched
voice services set forth in AT & T‘s Tariffs FCC Nos. 1 and 2, MCI Telecommunications Corp.‘s Tariff
FCC No. 1, US Sprint‘s Tariffs FCC Nos. 1 and 2, between the U.S., on the one hand, and Canada and
Mexico and those points listed in those tariffs on the other hand.
5. Copies of any operating agreements entered into between HNI and its correspondents shall be filed
with the Commission within 30 days of their execution.
6. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that HNI shall file a tariff pursuant to Section 203 of the Communications
Act, 47 U.S.C. Section 203 and Part 61 of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. Part 61, for the services
authorized in this order.
7. This order is issued under Section 0.291 of the Commission‘s rules and is emm_@@@fig@k@@fi@
Petitions for reconsideration under Section 1.106 or applications for review under Section 1.115ofthe
rules may be filed within 30 days of public notice of this order (see Section 1.4(b)(2)).
