telecommunications services in Canada. As described in greater detail below, given that TC2 and TC2 Communications Ltd. are not monopoly providers of telecommunications services in a relevant market in a destination country, they lack sufficient market power on the foreign end of the route to affect competitition adversely in the U.S. telecommunications market.

II. Public Interest Considerations TC2 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. Therefore, a grant of this Application will further the public interest. III.

(1) TC2 proposes to resell the international switched services of an riaffiliated U.S. carrier for the purpose of providing international telecommunic ons services to Canada, a country in which it is a foreign carrier and in which i ; affiliated with a foreign carrier. TC2 should be classified as nondominant pursuant to Section | 10(a)(3) of the Commission‘s Rules, because TC2 and its affiliate are small companies that are new market entrants offering services in competition with dominant foreign carriers and others. At this time, TC2 and its foreign affiliate each hold significantly less than a 50 percent market share in the international transport and local access markets in Canada. Moreover, neither carrier has the ability to discriminate against unaffiliated U.S. international carriers through the control of bottleneck services or facilities to exercise markt power in Canada. Accordingly, TC2 and its foreign affiliate lack sufficient market power on the foreign end of the U.S.—Canada route to affect competition adversely in the U.S. market.

(p) TC2 qualifies for streamlined processing pursuant to Section 63. .2(2)( !)(ii) of the Commission‘s Rules because, as set forth above in Section (1), °C q 1alifies for a presumption of nondominance under Section 63.10(a)(3) of the Coinmission‘s Rules.
