The Commission has before it an application filed by IDB Aeronautical Communications, Inc., dba IDB Mobile Communications, (IDB) pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 214, and Section 63.01 of the Commission‘s Rules and Regulations, 47 C.F.R. § 63.01, requesting authority to interconnect its coast earth station facilities and services with the domestic and international network of MCI Telecommunications Corporation, including MCI International, Inc. (collectively, MCI). IDB seeks this authority in order to facilitate the exchange of telecommunication services between points served by MCI and mobile earth stations in the Atlantic (AOR—West, AOR —— East), Pacific (POR) and Indian Ocean (IOR) Regions served by IDB. The application appeared on public notice on March 31, 1993. No oppositions remain. n1 n1 COMSAT Corporation (COMSAT) filed a Partial Opposition to IDB‘s application on April 30, 1993, but withdrew its submission on November 12, 1993. We find no public interest issue arising out of COMSAT‘s pleading that warrants our independent action in this matter. *2 2. IDB seeks authority to intercomnect its existing facilities with the existing facilities of MCI. The interconnected facilities will be used to provide a variety of telecommunication services, such as analog voice, digital voice and data, compressed video, facsimile, telex, and packet switched data network services. Service in the POR and AOR—West will be provided using IDB‘s facilities at Niles Canyon, California. Service in the AOR—East will be provided on IDB‘s facilities at Staten island, New York, and service in the IOR will be provided by IDB‘s facilities at Perth (Gnangara), Australia.
