                   Facilities—based and Resale Services.

Dear Secretary Salas:

         Z.Com, Corporation (Z.Com), by its undersigned counsel, hereby amends its application
filed February 15, 2000, to remove its request for assignment of the Section 214 authorizations of

on its own behalf to provide global facilities—based and resale services pursuant to Section
63.18(e)(1) and (e)(2) of the Commission‘s Rules.

         If you have any questions regarding this amendment, please contact me at (202) 295—
