()      Certification of destination country:

Embratel Americas certifies that it seeks to provide international telecommunications
services, via switched resale, to all of the destination countries where it has foreign
affiliates listed in (i) above. Embratel Americas also will provide telecommunications
services in Brazil. Embratel Americas certifies that it is wholly—owned by Embratel S.A.,
the incumbent carrier in Brazil.


(k)     Destination country is a WTO member.

Brazil and all of the other destination countries referenced in(j) are World Trade
Organization member countries, except Taiwan. Embratel Americas‘s affiliate in
Taiwan, MCI WorldCom Taiwan, neither controls bottleneck facilities nor has a 50
percent or greater market share in the Taiwanese international transport or local access
markets, and therefore, lacks market power in Taiwan.


(1)     Not applicable.


(m)     Embratel Americas qualifies for non—dominant status on all routes for which it
seeks authority and where it is a foreign carrier or is affiliated with a foreign carrier at the
destination end, except Brazil. Embratel Americas certifies that it lacks 50 percent
market share in the international transport and access markets in the countries referenced
in (J), except Brazil. Therefore, pursuant to 63.10(a)(3) of the Commission‘s rules,
Embratel Americas should be presumptively classified as non—dominant for these routes.

Pursuant to Section 63.10(a)(2), Embratel Americas agrees to be classified as dominant
on the Brazil — US route because of its affiliation with Embratel, S.A., the incumbent
provider of long—distance and international telecommunications services in Brazil.


(n)      Embratel Americas certifies that it has not agreed and will not agree in the future
to accept any direct or indirect special concessions from a foreign carrier or
administration with regard to traffic or revenue flows between the United States and any
foreign countries the company is authorized to serve.


(0)      Embratel Americas certifies that no party tothis application has been denied
federal benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti—Drug Abuse Act of 1988.


(p)      Streamlined processing.

Embratel Americas requests streamlined processing of this application. Embratel
Americas is affiliated with a foreign carrier in Brazil, however, it certifies under Section
63.12(c)(1)(v), that the affiliated destination is a WTO Member country and it agrees to
be classified as a dominant carrier to the affiliated destination country under Section
63.10, without prejudice to its right to petition for reclassification at a later date.
Accordingly, Embratel Americas qualifies for streamlined processing pursuant to Section
63.12(c)(1)(v) of the Commission‘s rules.


IV.      Conclusion

For the reasons stated above, Embratel Americas respectfully requests that the
Commission grant this application without delay.


Respectfully submitted,
