IIJ Americst is a newly formied corporation nized under the laws of th : State of California for the jpurpose 0o: providing telec nunications services The sole sharehc;iders 6f IJ Anerica, eech holding a & ownership interest, are htern t _ .b_‘lnitia;tive Jaban In ;. ("Il ) Inc.") anc HIJ Tachnialogj;/ "IlJ Technology"), both Ja janeve -‘Cg-f_pora’_(ior»-]é. The con pany currently holds no te nmunications authorizations, ard has no interlockirg dire:ctorates cr affil ations witr rign carriets. IIJ Americs beliives that there is significar :‘entia for c:gntinued growt!i in the international voici:, daa and facsimile markets, : hat this market expanision will he accelerated by ac ditional competition y new ent . Th s position is consistent with Commission findiags {nat increaued competition iternational markets s be ieficial. See, e.g., Teltec saving Commur icaticns Co., Mii No. 3 348 (releaised April 4 198(), and cases cited therein. The Jomniission als ind taiat the market will support additional carriers ard that the adced compe 1 will be in ths puolic iiterest. Accordingly, the Con mission rFas authorized | entrents that j»ropcse to resall international services. Id. See iIso FTC, Inc., 6 FiRed 2237 (19031). IIJ America preposes by this zipplication rovide: international switch ed a id private line serv ces rom the Unitec States to ‘rnational points threugh ts ouvn facilities and through the resale of other carriers‘ services. The Commission has determined that, as a matter of policy, introduction of additional competition in the provision of international services creates incentives for carriers to offer new and

innovative services and to reduce prices, which inure to the public interest and benefit.‘ Grant of this application would serve the Commission‘s proposes and accord with the Commission‘s commitment to open entry to the U.S. telecommunications market. Moreover, many carriers provide international services in the United States, including AT&T, MCI WorldCom, Sprint and others. By the instant application, lIJ America seeks authority to resell international private lines between the United States and Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Australia, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Norway, Denmark, France, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Japan and Italy for the provision of international switched services between the United States and those countries. In Regu/‘afion of International Accounting Rates, 7 FCC Red 559 (1992), the Commission found that such resale between the United States and countries affording "equivalent opportunities" for such resale would afford numerous public interest benefits, including increased demand, reduced prices, the virtual elimination of price discrimination, and the exertion of pressure to reduce above—cost accounting rates. More recently, the Commission has determined that the aforementioned countries afford such "equivalent opportunities" and granted the applications of companies to provide resold interconnected private line services between the United States and those countries. See Public Notice Report No. TEL—00017, released October 15, 1998. * See, e.g., TDX Systems, Inc., File No. ITC—86—108, released September 2, 1986; Argo Communications International, Inc., 1 FCC Red 578 (1986);, BT North America, Inc., ITC—95—178, released April 20, 1995. _ —3—

IIJ America believes that the added competition that its entry will bring to the market will benefit United States consumers of overseas data and voice services. These benefits include competitive pricing and increased availability of a variety of service options. The grant of this iauthorization will therafore furth:sr the public interest. In support of II.J Amarica‘s request for authorization, the following iiformation is submitted pursuant to Section 63.18 cof the Commnission‘s rules, as amended, 47 C.F.R. § 63.18 (1696): (a) Name and address of Applicant: IIJ America, Inc. 399 Park Avenue, 23rd Floor New York, New York 10022 Attentior: Kenzo Inuzuka, President and CED Telephone No.: (212) 350—1300 (b) Applicant is a corporation organized unde the laws of the State of California.
