In the Matter of

BCE NEXXIA CORPORATION 1999

Application for Authority Pursuant to Section 214            File No. ITC—214—
of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
for Global Authority to Provide Facilities—Based
and Resold International Message Telephone
Service and International Private Line Services
Betweenthe United States and All Authorized
International Points




                                         APPLICATION

       BCE Nexxia Corporation 1999 (BCE Nexxia) hereby applies, pursuant to Section 214

of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 214, and Sections 63.12 and

63.18 of the Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 63.12, 63.18, for authority to: (1) acquire

capacity in any international facilities previously authorized by the Commission for the

provision of International Message Telephone Service (IMTS) and international private line

(IPL) service between the United States and all authorized international points; (2) resell IMTS

for the provision of switched telecommunication services between the United States and all

authorized international points; (3) resell IPL services for the provision of private line services

not interconnected to the public switched network between the United States and all authorized

international points; and (4) resell IPL services for the provision of switched

telecommunication services, interconnected to the public switched network at one or both


ends, between the United States and all authorized international points.

I.     Introduction

       Through this application, BCE Nexxia, a Delaware corporation, seeks authority to

provide IMTS and IPLservice as a facilities—based and resale carrier between the United States

and all authorized international points. The public interest in more competitive and

economical international communication services is well established and has been addressed by

the Commission in nummerous decisions. The Commission also has routinely approved

applications by common carriers to acquire capacity in private international facilities and has

granted applic:ations to resell the IPL services of unaffiliated carriers for the provision of

switched services —i.e., International Simple Resale (ISR) — along all approved routes.

Nexxia therefore submits that streamlined grant of this application is in the public interest

pursuant to Section 63.12 of the Commission‘s Rules.

II.    Section 63.18 Information

       In accordance with Section 63.18 of the Commission‘s Rules, the following

information is submitted:

       (a)     The applicant‘s name, address and telephone number are as follows:

               BCE Nexxia Corporation 1999
               c/o Susan M. Brandt, Esq.

               Rochester, New York 14604—2070
               (716) 232—6500

       (b)     The applicant is a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware.


(c)       Correspondence concerning this application should be sent to:

          Gregory C. Staple, Esq.
          R. Edward Price, Esq.
          Koteen & Naftalin, L.L.P.
          1150 Connecticut Avenue, N.W.

          (202) 467—5700 (tel.)
          (202) 467—5700 (fax)
                                                                         0
(d)       The applicant does not currently hold Section 214 authority.

(e)—(f)   The applicant requests facilities—based Section 214 authority pursuant t   he
          terms and conditions of Section 63.18(e)(1) of the Commission‘s Rule:      1d
          resale Section 214 authority pursuant to the terms and conditions of Se    on
          63.18(e)(2) of the Commission‘s Rules to provide service between the       iited
          States and all authorized points. The applicant only seeks authority to    sell
          international private lines connected to the switched network where su
          International Simple Resale (ISR) services have been authorized.

(g)       Inapplicable. The applicant seeks authority to acquire an interest in fa   ties
          previously authorized by the Commission.

(h)       (1)—(3) See Exhibit 1.
          (4) The Applicant will update the information provided in this applicat    | as
          necessary.

          (5)—(6) Canada, Colombia, India, and Mexico are members of the Wor          Trade
          Organization.

          (7)—(8) The applicant is entitled to a presumption of non—dominance under
          Section 63.10(a)(3) of the Commission‘s Rules because none of its foreign
          carrier affiliates have a 50% or greater share of the national market for
          international transport or local access services in their respective home
          countries. See Exhibit 1. The applicant is therefore entitled to non—dominant
          status and to streamlined grant of this application. See FCC Public Notice, Rep.
          No. TEL—00070, File No. ITC—T/C—19990114—00023 (released Mar. 4, 1999)
          (granting authority to transfer control of Section 214 authorization held by BC
          TEL, a regional Canadian carrier, to BCT.TELUS Communications, Inc., a
          new company reflecting the merger of two Canadian regional carriers,
          classifying BCT.TELUS as a non—dominant carrier on all routes); FCC Public

                                           3


              Notice, File No. ITC—214—19980921—00660, 13 FCC Red 22621 (released Nov.
              12, 1998) (granting Section 214 authority to BC TEL on a streamlined basis and
              classifying BC TEL as a non—dominant carrier).

       (i)—(J) See Exhibit 1.

       (k)    This application is entitled to streamlined processing under Section 63.12 of the
              Commission‘s Rules because the applicant is entitled to a presumption of non—
              dominance under Section 63.10(a)(3) of the Commission‘s Rules and does not
              seek authority to provide switched services over private lines along routes that
              have not been approved by the Commission.

III.   Conclusion

       In view of the information stated above, expeditious grant of this application, pursuant

to streamlined processing under Section 63.12 of the Commission‘s Rules, is warranted and

would serve the public interest, convenience and necessity.

                                            Respectfully submitted,
