BEFORE THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of StarHubPte Ltd File No. I—T—C—__—_ Application pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, for global authority to acquire and operate U.S. common carrier and non—common carrier facilities for the provision of international commoncarrier service between the United States and Singapore and to provide such service via resale. 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) construct, acquire and/or operate U.S. common carrier and non—common carrier facilities previously and subsequently authorized by the Commission to provide telecommunicationsservices between the United States and Singapore, (2) resell the international services of authorized U.S. common carriers between the United States and Singapore, and (3) provide international simple resale ("ISR") between the United States and all ISR—approved countries, including Singapore. StarHub is a Singapore company that provides fixed and mobile domestic and international telecommunications services in Singapore.

As explained below, while StarHub, as a new entrant, does not have Doc#: DC1: 107038.2

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 will accept (without prejudice to its right to petition for reclassification at a later date) dominant carrier status on the U.S.—Singapore route. Thus, because StarHub will accept dominant carrier status on the U.S.—Singapore route and because Singapore is a WTO Member, StarHub hereby requests that the Commission process this Application in accordance with its streamlined processing procedures.
