                          Dear Ms. Dortch:

                          Next Angel LLC (“Next Angel”), by counsel for Next Communications, Inc.,
                          clarifies that the above-referenced application for international Section 214
                          authority and the request for Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) to provide
                          service pending grant of that Section 214 application do not seek any authority to
                          provide service to the customers of STi Prepaid, LLC (“STi Prepaid”) and STi
                          Telecom Inc. (“STi Telecom” and collectively with STi Prepaid, “STi”).

                          On January 30, 2013, Next Angel submitted applications for assignment of
                          domestic and international Section 214 authority from STi to Next Angel and for
                          STA to continue providing service to the customers of STi pending approval of the
                          assignment applications. As described in those applications, STi is in bankruptcy
                          and will soon be unable to provide service to existing customers. The assignment
                          applications and requests for STA sought authority for Next Angel to provide
                          service to these customers.

                          Next Angel acknowledged in the assignment applications that STi is delinquent in
                          certain debts owed to the Commission and sought waiver of Section 1.1910 of the
                          Commission’s rules1 to allow the FCC to process the applications. The FCC has not
                          yet acted on these waiver requests and has not processed the pending assignment or
                          STA applications.


                          1
                                 47 C.F.R. § 1.1910.

Next Angel’s application for Section 214 authority and request for STA seek
authority to initiate service to new customers. Next Angel does not seek authority
under this Section 214 application or request for STA to provide service to STi’s
current customers. Any services provided under this new authority would clearly
identify Next Angel as the service provider.

Please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned should you have any questions.


                                     Respectfully submitted,



                                     By: __/s/ Jennifer D. Hindin_______
