Before thell\"—* FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of Titan Wireless, Inc. File No. ITC—99—__ Application Pursuant to Section 214 for Authority to Provide International Facilities— Based and Resale Services Over Solidaridad 1 and 2, and Morelos 2 APPLICATION FOR SECTION 214 AUTHORIZATION I. INTRODUCTION Titan Wireless, Inc. ("Titan Wireless"), hereby applies, pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 214, for authority to provide facilities—based and resale services to all World Trade Organization ("WTO") member countries via the Mexican—authorized satellites, Solidaridad 1 and 2 and Morelos 2, which are located at 109.2°, 113°, and 116.2° W.L. respectively. The proposed services will include international basic switched, non—interconnected private line, data, television, and business services.‘ In Part II, Titan Wireless demonstrates that the prompt grant of this Application is in the public interest. In Part III, Titan Wireless provides the information requested in 47 C.F.R. § 63.18. Titan ! 47 C.F.R. § 63.12(a).

respectfully submits that this application qualifies for streamlined processing under 47 C.F.R. § 63.12. II. THE PROMPT GRANT OF THIS APPLICATION IS IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST The prompt grant of this Application will serve the public interest, convenience and necessity, as it will enhance competition on the U.S.—Guatemala and other WTO country routes. In the Commission‘s DISCO I Order, the Commission established an open entry standard for those applicants seeking to access foreign satellite systems who: (1) intend to provide services, such as the basic telecommunications services proposed here, that are covered by the United States‘ WTO commitments;" and (2) intend to provide their services via satellite systems that are licensed by WTO Members," such as Morelos 2 and the Solidaridad System.* Under this standard, the Commission will grant an application absent a demonstration that it poses a very high risk to competition that cannot be addressed by imposing additional conditions on the authorization." Certainly, this Application does not pose any such risk. Titan Wireless is a new entrant in the market for international services, and is not affiliated with any foreign carrier. Thus, grant of this Application will not impede competition in the international services * Amendment ofthe Commission‘s Regulatory Policies to Allow Non—U.S.—Licensed Space Stations to Provide Domestic and International Satellite Service in the United States, 12 FCC Red. 24094, 24112 (1997) ("DISCO II Order"). > DISCO II Order at 24118. * Morelos 2 and the Solidaridad System are licensed by the Government of the United Mexican States, a WTO member. ° See DISCO II Order at 24112.

market on the routes in question. Rather, grant of this Application will enhance competition on these routes by increasing and improving the available service options. The prompt grant of this Application is also compelled by the United States‘ obligations under a 1996 Agreement with Mexico. Under this Agreement, the Governments of the United States and Mexico agreed to "facilitate the provision of services to, from and within the United States and Mexico via commercial satellites that each Party licenses and coordinates pursuant to ITU Radio Regulations."" To this end, the United States committed that: Mexican Satellites will be permitted to provide serviceto, from and within the U.S., in conformance with applicable provisions of U.S. law, to the extent that these services enhance rather than distort competition in the U.S. market for Satellite Services, and to the extent that these services enhance public interest objectives." As just demonstrated, grant of this Application will serve the public interest by enhancing, not distorting competition on U.S.—Latin American routes. According, the prompt grant of this Application is compelled by the United States‘ clear obligation under the U.S.—Mexico Agreement. III.
