                                           APPLICATION

                       StarHub Pte Ltd ("StarHub" or the "Company"), hereby applies for

authority, pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the

"Act"), and Section 63.18 of the Commission‘s Rules and Regulations (the "Rules"), to

(1) constuct, acquire and operate U.S. common carrier and non—common carrier facilities

previously and subsequently authorized by the Commission to provide

telecommunications services between the United States and all permissible foreign points

except Singapore, and (2) resell the international services of authorized U.S. common

carriers —— excluding the resale of private line services for the provision of international

basic switched services to countries that have not been found by the Commuission to

provide equivalent resale opportunities —— to all international points.


                       StarHub is a Singapore company that provides fixed and mobile domestic

and international telecommunications services in Singapore. It is the new entrant in

Singapore‘s recently liberalized telecommunications market, with a market share of less



Doc#: DCI1: 106354.2


 than five percent. As explained below, while StarHub, as a new entrant, does not have

 the ability to exercise market power in Singapore, under Commission rules it appears that

 StarHub could be considered affiliated with Singapore Telecommunications Limited

 ("SingTel"), the primary provider of domestic and international telecommunications

 services in Singapore. Because it could be considered affiliated with a dominant carrier

in Singapore, StarHub is not requesting section 214 authority on the U.S.—Singapore route

in this Application. Because StarHub is not a foreign carrier in a destination market and

is not affiliated with a foreign carrier in a destination market, StarHub hereby requests

that the Commission process this Application in accordance with its streamlined

processing procedures.


                      In accordance with Section 63.18 of the Rules, the Company submits the

following information in support of its application:


                      (a)    The applicant is StarHub Pte Ltd. The address of the Company‘s

principal place of business is: 51 Cuppage Road #07—00, StarHub Centre, Singapore

229469. The phone number at that address is +65 825 5000.


                      (b)    StarHub is organized under the laws of the Republic of Singapore.


                      (c)    Correspondence concerning this Application should be directed to:
