VIP believes that the ded competition, whichits expanded market entry will bring to the market, will bene the consumers of the United States overseas services.

Public Interest msiderations The Commission‘s pu cly stated policy goals for the regulation of the United States international telecom._inications market to promote effective competition in the communications market, including the market for international telecommunications services, to prevent anti—competitive conduct in the provision for international services or facilities and to encourage foreign governments to open their communication markets. The Commission also has moved to establish an effective global communications market that could result in reduced rates, increased quality and new services. In addition, the Commission has found that effective competition directly advances the public interests and the Commission‘s paramount goal of making available a rapid, efficient, worldwide wite and radio communications service with adequate facilities at reasonable charges.

The grant of VIP‘s request for resale and facilities—based authority to provide international services will further the Commission‘s policies of facilitating increased competition within the U.S. international telecommunications services market and is therefore in the public interest.
