00799.1

With reference to Section 63.18(e)(3), Applicant is not applying for authority to acquire
facilities or to provide services not covered by paragraphs (e)(1) and (e)(2) of Section
63.18.

Section 63.18(g) is also inapplicable because Applicant does not seek facilities-based
authority under paragraph (e)(3) of Section 63.18.

214 authorization for Global Resale Service at the same time this application is filed. A grant of that

resold international telecommunications service.
