COM SAN FRANCISCO February 18, 2000 BY HAND DELIVERY Ms. Magalie Roman Salas Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Request to Dismiss without Prejudice New Skies Networks, Inc., Application for Authority Pursuant to Section 214 of the Act to Operate as an International Facilities— Based Carrier and an International Resale Carrier in Conjunction with a Non—U.S. Licensed Satellite Systern File No. ITC—214—19991110—00771 Dear Ms. Salas: New Skies Networks, Inc. ("NSNI") hereby respectfully requests the dismissal without prejudice of the above—captioned application. NSNI, a Delaware corporation, is a wholly—owned subsidiary of New Skies, a Dutch registered company providing a variety ofinternational voice, video, data and other broadband telecommunications services. NSNI, together with MCA Research Corporation, recentlyfiled an applicationto assign an earth station license from MCA Research to NSNI. That assignment application was approved by the Commission on January 24, 2000, and NSNI will be the new licensee of that earth station once the underlying transaction with MCA Research has been consummated. In connection with that assignment application, the above—captioned application was filed with the Commission on November 10, 1999. However, because it is now apparent that NSNI will not be a common carrier and does not anticipate providing common carrier services in the near future, no Section 214 authorization is required for NSNI to operate the earth station. Although MCA Research is authorized to provide international common carrier services, it is not currently providing such services at the earth station facility that is the subject of the transaction with NSNI. Therefore, NSNI can continue to operate the earth station as it is currently being operated by MCA Research without a Section 214 authorization. Based on the foregoing, NSNI hereby requests that the Commission dismiss the above— captioned application without prejudice.
