R S L COMMUNICATIONS, LATIN AMERICA LTD. 6300 N W 5h Way, Se 100 R Lauderdale, Fl 33309 Ph 954-491-9500 First Union National Bank ® Fort Lauderdale, Florida R/T 067006432

Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, DC 20554 In re Application of ) ) RSL COMMUNICATIONS, LATIN AMERICA, LTD. ) File No. _______ For Authority under Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 63.18(e)(1) and 63.18(e)(2) of the Commission's Rules to Operate as a Facilities-Based Carrier and as a Resale Carrier, Including Authority to Resell Private Lines Between the United States and Authorized Countries APPLICATION RSL Communications, Latin America, Ltd. ("RSL Latin America") hereby requests (i) authority, pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 3214, and Section 63.18(e)(1) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 63.18(e)(1), to acquire interests in facilities previously authorized by the Commission in order to provide international basic switched, private line, data, video and business services to all international points, and (ii) authority under Section 63.1 8(e)(2) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 63.18(e)(2), to resell the international switched and private line services of authorized U.S. common carriers for the provision of international basic switched, private line, data, video and business services to all international points, including authority to resell international private lines between the United States and Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, Sweden, Australia, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Nory, Denmark, France, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Japan, Italy, Ireland and Hong Kong for the provision of switched service between the United States and those

countries. RSL Latin America is a corporation organized under the la of the Bermuda for the purpose of providing telecommunications services. The sole shareholders of RSL Latin America are RSL Communications, Ltd. ("RSL Communications"), a Bermuda corporation holding 51% of its capital stock, and Coral Gate Investments, Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company, which owns 49% of its capital stock. The company currently holds no telecommunications authorizations. RSL Latin America believes that there is significant potential for continued growth in the international voice, data and facsimile markets, and that this market expansion will be accelerated by additional competition by new entrants. This position is consistent with Commission findings that increased competition in international markets is beneficial. See, Teltec Saving Communications Co., Mimeo No. 3548 (released April 4, 1986), and cases cited therein. The Commission also found that the market will support additional carriers and that the added competition will be in the public interest. Accordingly, the Commission has authorized new entrants that propose to resell international services. Id See also FTC, Inc., 6 FCC Rcd 2237 (1991). RSL Latin America proposes by this application to provide international switched and private line services from the United States to international points through its own 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 2

and to reduce prices, which inure to the public interest and benefit.1 Grant of this application would serve the Commission's purposes 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, RSL Latin 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, Norwey, Denmark, France, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Japan, Italy, Ireland and Hong Kong for the provision of international switched services between the United States and those countries. In Regulation of International Accounting Rates, 7 FCC Rcd 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. Public Notice Report No. TEL-000l 7, released October 15, 1998; AT&T Corp., DA 98-2555, released December 17, 1998; AT&T Corp. et a!., DA 98-2654, released January 4, 1999. See, e.g., TDX Systems, Inc., File No. ITC-86-108, released September 2, 1986; Argo Communications international, Inc., I FCC Rcd 578 (1986); BT North America, inc., ITC-95-1 78, released April 20, 1995. -3-

RSL Latin 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 authorization will therefore further the public interest. In support of RSL Latin America's request for authorization, the following information is submitted pursuant to Section 63.18 of the Commission's rules, as amended, 47 C.F.R. 63.18(1996): (a) Name and address of Applicant: RSL Communications, Latin America, Ltd. 6300 N.W.
