For p irposes of the awhority: soug it in this ar plicat on, Applic int shauld t e regulatec as nen—dotiinani. Applican ‘s affiliates in Australi iand Hong Kong do not hav: market p ower :n the destiration mark:t.

CONCLUSION Applicant believes that there is significant potential for continu :d grc wth i1 i the international voice market and that this market expansion will be accelerated by add tiona competition by new entrants. This position is consistent with the Commission s finc ings : hat increased competition in international markets benefits the public interest. Aprlican: is le rally, financially and technically qualified to provide the service for which it request ; auth >rity. For the reasons stated above, Applicant submits that the public interest, convenien e and nece: sity would be furthered by granting Applicant‘s § 214 Application. The request fo glob i1 res:le anc. facilities—based authorization should, therefore, be issued to Applicant for the ; urpoé & of providing resold switched voice communications from the United States to int: rnaticnal p »ints.
