File No. ITC—98—_______ N —+—CcC—ax—199901329 10 03| NNN Application for Global Authority Pursuant to C Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to Operate as an N International Facilities—Based and Resale Carrier NY Between the United States and Various NN International Points APPLICATION N International Mobile Communications, Inc. ("IMCI" or "Applicant"), by its undersigned counsel, hereby requests "global" authority, under Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 214, and Section 63.18 of the Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.18 (1997), to provide international telecommunications services between the United States and international points. 1. The Proposed International Services IMCI requests four types of authority in this Application, all of which are eligible for streamlined processing.~ IMCI specifically requests: (1) global facilities—based authority pursuant to Section 63.18(e)(1) of the FCC‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.18(e)(1), to acquire interests in half— circuits in U.S.—authorized facilities as well as necessary connecting facilities to provide U See Streamlining the International 214 Authorization Process and TariffRequirements, 11 FCC Red 12884 (1996) (adopting streamlined 3 5—day processing procedures for certain international resale applications) ("Streamlining Order"); 47 C.F.R. § 63.12 (1998).

IMCI believes that the added competition its entry will bring to the market will benefit the consumers of United States—overseas services. These benefits include competitive pricing and increased availability of a variety of service options. A grant of this Application will therefore further the public interest. II. The Applicant IMCI is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Maryland. IMCI is not affiliated, as that term is defined by Part 63 of the Commission‘s Rules* with any dominant U.S. carriers whose international services IMCI will resell. IMCI is affiliated, within the meaning of Section 63.18(h)(1)(i), 47 C.F.R. § 63.18(h)(1)(i), of the Commission‘s Rules, with foreign carriers that lack sufficient market power on the respective foreign end of the route to affect competition adversely in the U.S. market. Therefore, IMCI should be classified as a nondominant carrier for the provision of the services for which authority is requested in this Application, and IMCI‘s Application is eligible for streamlined processing. III. Public InterestConsiderations In the Market Entry Order, the Commission set forth the following policy goals for its regulation of the U.S. international telecommunications market: to promote effective competition in the U.S. telecommunications market, particularly the market for international telecommunications services; to prevent anticompetitive conduct in the provision of international services or facilities; and to encourage foreign governments to open their communications 3 47 C.F.R. §63.18(h); Market Entry and Regulation ofForeign—Affiliated Entities, Report and Order, 11 FCC Red 3875 (1995) (Market Entry Order). 33.

markets." The Commission also stated that "establishing an effectively competitive global communications market could result in reduced rates, increased quality, and new innovative services."*" In addition, the Commission found that "effective competition directly advances the public interest and the Commission‘s paramount goal of making available a rapid, efficient, worldwide wire and radio communication service with adequate facilities at reasonable charges."* Grant of IMCI‘s request for facilities—based and resale authority to provide international services as requested in this Application will directly further the Commission‘s policies of bringing increased competition to the U.S. international telecommunications services market and is therefore in the public interest. IV. Information Required under Section 63.18 As required by Section 63.18 of the Commission‘s Rules, IMCI submits the following information: (a) Name, address and telephone number of Applicant: International Mobile Communications, Inc. 4330 East—West Highway Suite 1115 Bethesda, MD20814 Tel: (301) 652—2075 Attention: President (b) Applicant is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland. o Id. at 6.
