                                      APPLICATION
         Cable & Wireless Global Networks Limited (Ireland) ("CWGN" or "Applicant"),

by its attorneys and pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as

amended ("the Act") and Sections 63.18(e)(1),(2), and (6) of the Commission‘s Rules, 47

C.F.R. §§ 63.18(e)(1),(2), and (6), hereby requests authority to operate as a facilities—

based and resale carrier. CWGN seeks authority to serve all international points except

those countries listed in Attachment A.

         CWGN is affiliated with a number of foreign carriers in the countries for which

authority is requested in this Application. The countries in which CWGN is affiliated

with a foreign carrier and for which authority is requested in this Application are listed in

Attachment B. Each of these countries is a Member of the World Trade Organization

("WTO"). Thus, grant of authority to CWGN is appropriate under the rules and policies

Rates Order."

         In ; number of the countries for which suthotrity is ‘equested and in whick CWGN

has a ‘oreiy;n affiliate, ths Cor imission has alre ady found t 1at th: foreign affiliate lacks

market power. These countri¢s, along wih the Comunission decisions in wlich the FC C

made its market power deterit ination, are notec in A: tachnient E. In iddition anc! as also

discussed in Attachment B, CNGN notes that i1 Canada, CWON is alfiliated wit 1 a

numbir of other wholly—»wnei Cable and Wireless compainies (such ss Cable & ‘NVireless

Global Ma ‘kets, Inc.) thiit hav s onlyrecently acquire 1 intenational resale licenses and

that provid : internationa! serv ces solely through resile. S nce t ie market s 1iare cf these

companies is less than 10) percent, CWGN‘ qualifies for a p esum ption of no 1—doniinant

treatment cn the Canada route under Sect: on 63.10(a (3) oi‘ the Commission‘s Rules.

CWGN rec uests that the Com nission clasify CWGI as a non—cdominant c;rrier in its

provision of service to these countries, as well as in its provision of se vice to all

countries in which CWGN has no foreign affiliation. In all other countries for which

authority is requested, CWGN agrees to accept dominant carrier treatment.

         CWGN requests that the Commission process this Application in accordance with

its streamlined processing procedures. Streamlined processing is appropriate under

Section 63.12(a) of the Commission‘s Rules for service to countries in which CWGN has

no affiliate. For service to those countries in which CWGN has an affiliate, streamlined

processing is appropriate under Section 63.12(c) of the Commission‘s Rules, because

eachof these countries is a member of the WTO, and either the Commission has already

found that the foreign affiliate lacks market power, CWGN is entitled to a presmption of

non—dominant treatment under Section 63.10(a)(3) of the Commission‘s Rules, or CWGN

agrees to dominant carrier treatment.

         Pursuant to Section 63.18 of the Commission‘s Rules, CWGN sets forth the

following information in support of this Application:

DCO1/GRIFJ/72214.1


                      CWGN is applying for authority to operate as a facilities—based and resale
                      carrier for the provision of service to all international points except those
                      locations listed in Attachment A. CWGN seeks this authority pursuant to
                      Section 63.18(e)(6) of the Commission‘s Rules for service to Hong Kong
                      and Canada." With respect to all other countries, CWGN seeks authority
                      pursuant to Sections 63.18(e)(1) (facilities—based authority) and
                      63.18(e)(2) (resale authority) ofthe Commission‘s Rules.

         (£)          No response required.

         (g)          CWGN will use previously authorized facilities to provide its facilities—
                      based services and thus this Application is categorically excluded from
                      environmental assessment pursuant to Section 1.1306 of the
                      Commission‘s Rules.

         (h)          (1) As evidenced by the certification providedin Attachment C, CWGN
                      is affiliated with foreign carriers in the countries listed in Annex 1 to that
                      Attachment.

                      (2) CWGN is ultimately 100 percent owned by Cable and Wireless plc
                      ("C&W plc"), a company organized under the laws of England and
                      Wales.* C&W plc is a holding company for a number of
                      telecommunications operations worldwide. There are no shareholders that
                      control ten percent or more of C&W plc. At present, CWGN has no
                      interlocking directorates with any other U.S. common carrier.

                      (3) As evidenced by the certification providedin Attachment C, CWGN
                      is indirectly affiliated with a U.S. carrier, Cable & Wireless, Inc.
                      ("C&WUSA"). CWGN proposes to resell the facilities—based
                      international services of C&WUSA, as well as the facilities—based
                      international services of other U.S. carriers.

                      (4) No response required.

                     (5) Every country for which authority is requested in this Application and
                     in which CWGN has a foreign affiliate is a member of the WTO.



         CWGN specifically requests that it be allowed to engage in international simple
         resale ("ISR") on the Hong Kong route. The Commission previously authorized a
         CWGN affiliate, Hong Kong Telecommunications (Pacific) Limited, to provide
         this service. See AT&T Corp., Order, Authorization and Certificate, DA 98—2654,
         rel. Jan .   4, 1999.
4        The address of C&W plc is 124 Theobalds Road, London WC1X 8RX, England.

                     (6) Every country for which authority is requested in this Application and
                     in which CWGN has a foreign affiliate is a member of the WTO.

                     (7) See response to (h)(8) below.

                     (8) As discussed in Attachment B, CWGN requests non—dominant

                     is affil ated ‘with a foeign carrier. ‘[Non—clominant tr« neiit is appropriate
