3: The Commission‘s Foreign Participation Order‘, which became effective February 9, 1998, sets forth the current requirements under which the Commission will review applications for authority to engage in ISR with a carrier from a WTO country. Specifically, the Commission‘s rules state: Pursuant to the Section 214 authorization condition adopted in the Benchmark Order, we will authorize carriers to provide switched services over international facilities—based or resold private lines on the condition that settlement rates for at least 50 percent of the settled US Billed traffic on the route or routes in question are at or below the relevant benchmark adopted in that Order‘. AT&T hereby submits the following information to demonstrate that the above stated test has been met: 1) Poland is a WTO member country. 2) on October —13, 1999 AT&éT filed for an International Settlements Policy Modification of the Accounting Rate for International Message Telephone Service with Poland. In that filing, AT&T notified the Commission that the accounting rate for IMTS service between AT&T and Telekomunikacja Polska S.A.(hereinafter "TPSA"), effective July 1, 1999 would decrease from USD $.42 to USD $.38. 1 Rules and Policies on Foreign Participation in the US Telecommunications Market, IB Docket No. 97—142, Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration (rel.

3) The settlement rate stated in paragraph 2 above is the prescribed $0.19 benchmark settlement rate established for Poland in the Commission‘s 1997 Benchmark Order‘. 4) Pursuant to the Commission‘s International Settlement Rules, the accounting rate agreed to between AT&T and TPSA must be made available to all U.S. carriers on a non—discriminatory basis. On information and belief, TPSA has offered the accounting rate, agreed to with AT&T, to all other U.S. carriers including MCIWorldcom and Sprint. TPSA is the monopoly international provider in Poland. Therefore, TPSA‘s offering of an accounting rate of $.38 to all U.S. carriers will result in more than fifty percent (50%) of the U.S. billéd traffic being settled at the prescribed U.S. $0.19 benchmark settlement rate for Poland as of July 1, 19989 .
