63.10(a)(3) of the Commission‘s rules for GLC to qualify for non—dominant classification in the

provision ofsuch international communications to those countries.

        GLC, through BellSouth, is affiliated with four foreign carriers that have specific

authority to provide international telecommunications service to the public in their countries:

BellSouth Chile S.A. ("BCSA"), Otecel S.A. ("Otecel") (Ecuador), Dansk Mobiltelefon I/S

d/b/a/ SONOFON ("SONOFON) (Denmark), and Tele 2000, S.A. (Peru)." As shown herein,

none has the ability to discriminate against unaffiliated carriers on the foreign end of a particular

route because none has a 50 percent or more market share in the international transport and the

local access markets in its respective foreign country.

        BCSA is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BellSouth. It operates in the Santiago

and Region 5 concession areas of Chile. BCSA currently provides domestic and international

long distance voice services to its cellular customer base, and to the local landline customer base

via a code access process (a rudimentary form of equal access) and via customer delivery




 BellSouth has ownership interests in other carriers providing telecommunications services in
foreign countries. However, BellSouth does not have an interest in or affiliation with any other
foreign carriers as the terms affiliation and foreign carrier are defined in section 63.18(h)(1)(i)
and (ii) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.18(h)(1)(i) and (ii), respectively.
" BellSouth anticipates that in the very near future GLC‘s affiliated foreign carrier in Argentina,
Compatfiia de Radiocomunicaciones Moviles S.A. ("CRM"), in which BellSouth holds an
indirect 65% equity interest, will be awarded a long distance and an international authorization
by Argentina. CRM, like most of GLC‘s affiliated foreign carriers in this hemisphere, is a
licensed cellular carrier. Obviously, as a new entrant, CRM will not have a 50 percent or more
market share in the international and the local access markets in Argentina upon its entry into
those markets and could not hope to achieve such shares for many years to come. It will
continue to be a non—dominant carrier in Argentina.

began offering international services between Denn          nd the United Kingdomusing capacity

leased from another international carrier.     Consic        the highly competitive nature of the

Danish telecommunications market, it is unlikely t          JNOFON will ever attain more than a

10%market shareof the facilities—based Danish int           onal telecommunications market, or be

in a position to control international bottleneck swit      and transmission facilities. As shown

above, SONOFON lacks 50 percent or more marke               ‘e in the international transport and the

local access markets in Denmark.

       BellSouth also owns an indirect 58.98% equ           erest in Tele 2000, S.A. ("Tele 2000"),

a Peruviancellular carrier. Tele 2000 was granted 1         :cently the necessary license to provide

national and international telecommunications serv          o and from Peru.         Tele 2000 has not

begun offering international services between Pert           other countries. Currently, Tele 2000

does not use any international switching or transmi:        ‘acilities and as such does not have the

ability to control any bottleneck facilities. Tele 20(      mects to lease capacity in suchfacilities

in the future and, indeed, may construct its own in         ional gateway facilities by means of a

satellite earth station. Clearly, as a new entrant, Tele 2000 lacks 50 percent or more market share

in the international transport and the local access markets in Peru.

               BellSouth also has equity positions in licensed wireless communications carriers

in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Israel, Nicaragua, Panama, Uruguay, and Venezuela.                 However,

currently none of these affiliated carriers is authorized to provide international facilities—based

communications services or to engage in the resale of such. These foreign carriers only have
