I. Supplemental Information Reaardinq Corporate Structure and Individuals and Entities that Have a Ten Percent or More Equity Ownership in Sangoma U.S. Sangoma Technologies Corp.("STC.V"), is a public holding company with a single 100% owned subsidiary Sangoma Technologies Inc.

STC.V has one 10% or more individual shareholder, Mr. David Mandelstam, a Canadian citizen, who holds an estimated 16.3% interest in STC.V. STI holds 100% of Sangoma U.S. Since the ownership between STC.V, STI, and Sangoma U.S. is 100% in each case, there are certain parts of the prior filing where we noted that STC.V is the ultimate parent of Sangoma U.S.

Supplemental Information Regardinq Overlap Between the Customers, Services, and Territories For SIPStation, Inc.("SIPStation") and Rockbochs, Inc. ("Rockbochs") Prior to Acquisition. In Item 7 of the December 23, 2015 Application for Domestic Transfer of Control, Sangoma U.S. described the geographic areas in which SIPStation and Rockbochs operated, and the services they provided, prior to acquisition by Sangoma U.S. In pertinent part, that description stated that: Rockbochs: Rockbochs provided nationwide fax-over-IP monthly service, and telecommunications equipment and software to support that service. SIPStation: SIPStation was established to provide nationwide integrated SIP trunking service. Note that STC.V is a Canadian publicly held company of which Mr. Mandelstam holds an estimated 16.3% equity interest, with an estimated 83.7% equity interest being publicly held. Mr. Mandelstam is the only equity holder of STC.V with a more than 10% equity interest. 2

Supplement to Attachment 3 Sangoma U.S., Inc. January 19, 2016 Page 3 of 3 Sangoma U.S. clarifies that there was no product or customer overlap between SIPStation and Rockbochs prior to (or after) the acquisition. SIPStation provides only a SIP trunking service, while Rockbochs provides a fax store and forward service that requires a physical device to be sent to and activated at the customer site. Both companies had the ability to provide their services throughout the United States, and there were some states in which both companies had customers. However, being small, each company only had actual customers in a limited number of states and even in the states where both companies had customers, they provided completely different services. This situation did not change after the acquisition of the companies by Sangoma U.S. and both companies have retained the same pre-acquisition sales teams. III. Supplemental Information Reqardinq ILEC Status of Sangoma U.S., SIPStation, and Rockbochs. On January 13, 2016, the FCC WCB inquired as to whether SIPStation or Rockbochs were ILECs in their service territories prior to their acquisition. Sangoma U.S. confirms that neither Rockbochs, nor SIPStation, were ILECs prior to their acquisition. Moreover, none of Rockbochs, SIPStation, nor Sangoma U.S., are ILECs post-acquisition. In light of the supplemental information provided in this filing, Sangoma U.S. respectfully requests that the Commission promptly grant its Application for Domestic Transfer of Control and corresponding Request for Special Temporary Authority.
