Before the CO@RMYF T 9 \ Federal Communications Commission FEB 2 3 2001 Washington, D.C. 20554 Telecom Division International Bureau In the Matter of International Telecommunications File No. ITC—214—___ Clearing Corporation Global Blanket Application Pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as Amended, for Authority to ) Operate as an International Facilities—Based ) and Resale Carrier ) GLOBAL BLANKET APPLICATION FOR SECTION 214 AUTHORITY International Telecommunications Clearing Corporation ("ITCC" or "Applicant") hereby requests authority under Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 214, and Section 63.18 of the Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 63.18, to opérate as an international facilities—based and resale carrier between the United States and all international points, except those countries listed on the Federal Communications Commussion‘s ("FCC" or the "Commission") exclusion list. Specifically, Applicant requests authority to provide facilities— based switched and facilities—based non—interconnected and interconnected private line, resold switched and resold interconnected and non—interconnected private line services‘ on either a ! ITCC will restrict its provision of interconnected private line services, on either a facilities or resold basis, to foreign destinations previously or hereafter approved by the Commission for international simple resale ("ISR") or to foreign carriers that lack market power in the country at the foreign end of the private line. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 63.22(e)(1)—(e)(2), 63.23(d)(1)—(d)(2).

facilities or resoldbasis between the United States and all international destinations, except those points on the Commission‘s exclusion list. ITCC‘s request for global blanket authority to provide international services as a facilities—based and resale carrier will further the public interest, convenience, and necessity. Applicant‘s entrance into the United States international services market will promote competition, lower prices for international services, and permit more efficient use of existing international telecommunicationsfacilities. ITCC requests to be classified as non—dominant. Applicant is entitled to a presumption of non—dominance on all routes under Section 63.10(a)(1),(3) of the Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R § 63.10(a)(1),(3), it has no affiliation with any dominant foreign carrier, and is not itself a foreign carrier, operating in any international point. In support ofits request for global blanket Section 214 authorization to provide facilities— based and resold services, Applicant submits the following information pursuant to Section 63.18 of the Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.18: (a) The name, address, and telephone number of the Applicant: International Telecommunications Clearing Corporation c/o Corporation Service Company 1013 Centre Road Wilmington, DE 19805 212—704—6000 (b) Applicant is organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. (c) Correspondence concerning this application should be addressed to: Ms. Nikki Nguyen Legal Counsel P.O. Box 74500 Dubai, U.A.E. 011—971—4—330—3778 D

Please send copies of any correspondence to: R. Michael Senkowski John F. Papandrea Wiley, Rein & Fielding 1776 K Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20006 202—719—7000 (d) Applicant has not received any prior Section 214 authorizations. (e)(1), (2), (£) Pursuant to the terms and conditions of sections 63.18(e)(1) and 63.18(e)(2) of the Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 63.18(e)(1)—(e)(2), Applicant requests Section 214 authorization to operate as a facilities—based and resale carrier between the United States andall international destinations, except those countries listed on the FCC‘s exclusion list. Applicant certifies that it will comply with the terms and conditions contained in sections 63.21, 63.22, and 63.23 of the Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 63.21, 63.22, 63.23. (g) Not applicable. (h) The name, address, citizenship, and principal business of the Applicant‘s ten percent or greater shareholders are: International Telecommunications Clearing Corporation Limited ("ITCC Parent") (a company organized under the laws of Bermuda) Cedar House, 41 Cedar Avenue Hamilton HM12 BERMUDA Principal Business: Telecommunications Ownership interest: 100 percent The only entity that owns 10 percent or more of the equity in International Telecommunications Clearing Corporation Limited is ITCC Limited ("ITCC BVI"), a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Its registered address is: ITCC Limited Trident Trust Company (B.V .I.) Limited Trident Chambers P.O. Box 146

Tortola, British V irgin Islands Principal Business: Telecommunications Through their ownership of ITCC BVI, the following individuals own 10 percent or more of the Applicant‘s equity: Bonaventure C.K. Wong P.O. Box 74500 Dubai, U.A.E. Citizenship: Canadian Principal Business: Telecommunications Ownership Stake in ITCC BVI: 62 percent Urs Barandun P.O. Box 35764 Dubai, U.A.E. Citizenship: Swiss Principal Business: Management Consulting Ownership Stake in ITCC BVI: 19 percent Jurg Baumberger P.O. Box 35764 Dubai, U.A.E. Citizenship: Swiss Principal Business: Management Consulting Ownership Stake in ITCC BVI: 19 percent (i) Applicant is "affiliated" with International Telecommunications Clearing Corporation Limited ("ITCC UK"), an indirect, wholly—owned subsidiary of ITCC Parent organized as a company under the laws of England and Wales. ITCC UK holds an international simple voice resale ("ISVR") license in the United Kingdom. Therefore, by virtue of its affiliation with ITCC UK through ITCC Parent, Applicant is affiliated with a "foreign carrier‘" in the United Kingdom under the Commission‘s definitions of "foreign carrier" and "affiliated." See 47 C.F.R. §§ 63.09(d),(e). (j) Applicant seeks to provide international telecommunications services on the U.S.—UK route and on all other routes between the United States and all other foreign countries except those on

the Commission‘s exclusion list. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 63.18(j) of the Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.18(j), Applicant certifies that it is an indirect, wholly—owned subsidiary of ITCC Parent, and a "sister" company of ITCC UK, which is a "foreign carrier" in the United Kingdom. Accordingly, Applicant certifies that it is "affiliated" with ITCC UK, a foreign carrier in the United Kingdom. (k) The United Kingdom is a Member of the WTO. In addition, because ITCC UK is a new carrier that does not yet have any customers, it clearly lacks market power in the highly— competitive UK telecommunications market. (1) Not applicable. (m) Applicant proposes to provide facilities—based and resale international telecommunications services between the United States and all international destinations, except those countries listed on the FCC‘s exclusion list. The countries that Applicant proposes to serve, thus, include the United Kingdom, a jurisdiction in which the Applicant is affiliated with a foreign carrier. Applicant satisfies Section 63.10(a)(3) of the Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.10(a)(3) for the United Kingdom because Applicant‘s foreign affiliate in the United Kingdom, ITCC UK, is a new company that has not yet begun to provide service. The telecommunications market in the United Kingdom is highly competitive, and ITCC UK is one of hundreds of carriers authorized to provide ISVR. Moreover, it is unaffiliated with British Telecom, which does have market power.‘ Consequently, ITCC UK does not have a 50 percent market share in the international transport and local access markets in the United Kingdom or the ability to affect competition adversely in the U.S. market. * See List of Foreign Telecommunications Carriers that are Presumed to Possess Market Power in (Continued...)

(n) Applicant certifies that it has not agreed to accept special concessions directly or indirectly from any foreign carrier with respect to any U.S. international route where the 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. (0) Applicant certifies pursuant to Section 1.2001 through 1.2003 of the Commission‘s ules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.2001—1.2003, that it is not subject to a denial of Federal benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti—Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. § §53(a). (p) This Application qualifies for streamlined processing under Section 63.12(a) of the Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 63.12 (a), because Applicant qualifies for a presumption of non—dominance under Section 63.10(a)(3), 47 C.F.R. § 63.10(a)(3), and the affiliated destination market is an WTO Member country. See Paragraph (m). (...Continued) Foreign Telecommunications Markets, DA 99—809 (Public Notice) (June 18, 1999).

CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, ITCC requests that the Commussion grant it Section 214 authorization to offer facilities—based and resale services between the United States and all international points. Respectfully submitted, International Telecommunications Clearing Corporation By: Nikki Nguyen International Telecommunications Clearing Corporation February /4, 2001
