ratepayers.* The Commission has held that authority to provide these services will serve the

public interest by aiding the "efficient and rapid provision of international services."" It is

for this reason that the Commission routinely grants applications for Section 214

authorization to provide facilities—based and resold international services. Indeed, in

furtherance of its international pro—competitive goals, the Commission has streamlined the

application process for unopposed applications for Section 214 resale authority." Grant of

this Application is consistent with the Commission‘s ongoing efforts to increase competition

in the international telecommunications marketplace.

convenience and necessity would be served by grant ofthis Application for authority,
