WASHINGTON 223703v1


COTENOR has nointerlocking directorates with a foreign carrier.

               The principal place of business is:

                      COTENOR
                      Avenida Gral. Gregorio Luperon No. 46
                      Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic


               1.     COTENOR certifies that it is not affiliated with any other foreign

carriers.

               §:     COTENOR certifies that it seeks to provide facilities—based and

resale services to the Dominican Republic, where it is authorized to provide services.

COTENOR further certifies that it does not seek to provide services to any other country

in which (1) COTENOR is a foreign carrier; or (2) COTENOR controls aforeign carrier;

or (3) two or more foreign carriers (or parties that control foreign carriers) together own

more than 25 percent of COTENOR and are parties to, or beneficiaries of, a contractual

relation affecting the provision or marketing of international basic telecommunications

services in the United States.

               k.     The Dominican Republic is a member of the WTO.

               I.     COTENOR certifies that it is not a monopoly provider of

communications services in the Dominican Republic. Although incorporated since 1990

as a facilities—based carrier, COTENOR has never commenced operations in the

Dominican Republic. Thus, COTENOR lacks sufficient market power on the foreign end

of the route to affect competition adversely in the U.S. market. COTENOR also lacks

50 percent market share in the international transport and the local access markets on

the foreign end of the route. COTENOR is therefore entitled, under Section 63.10, to

non—dominant status on all routes.



WASHINGTON 223703v1


               m.     See paragraph | above.

               n.     COTENORcertifies that it has not agreed to accept special

concessions directly or indirectly fromn anyforeign carrier or administration with respect

to any U.S. international route wherethe foreign carrier possesses sufficient market

power on the foreign end of the route to affect competition adversely in the U.S:. market

and will not enter into such agreements in the future.

               o.     Additionally, COTENOR certifies, pursuant to 47 C.F.R. §1.2002

that neither COTENOR nor any other party to this Application is subject to a denial of

any federal benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti—Drug Abuse Act of 1988. See

21 U.S.C. § 853a.

               p.     As stated above, COTENOR is entitled to streamlined processing

pursuant to Section 63.12 of the Commission‘s Rules because the Dominican Republic

is a member of the WTO and COTENOR certifies, by signature to this application, that

it qualifies for a presumption of non—dominance under the Commission‘s rules.



I.             CONCLUSION
               For the reasons set out above, COTENORrequests that the Commission

promptly grant this Application for global authority to provide international facilities—

based and resale services.
