        Wheat State Telephone, Inc. (WST) hereby requests, pursuant to Section 214 ofthe

Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 63.18 (e) (2) and 63.12 of the

Commission‘s Rules,‘ authority to resell international message telephone service ("IMTS")

between points in the United States and various international points by reselling the services of

unaffiliated carriers. Because WST is not affiliated with a foreign carrier and is not affiliated

with the U.S. facilities—based carriers whose international services it wishes to resell, WST‘s

Commission‘s Rules, unless formally opposed.

efficient use of telecommunications resources. Moreover, WST is legally, financially, and

authorization, the following information is set forth in accordance with Section 63.18:
