Attachment 1 Information and certifications required by Section 63.18(i) through (m) Question 10 Per the FCC’s International Section 214 Instructions, this item is no longer relevant and requires no response. Question 11 A certification as to whether or not the applicant is, or is affiliated with, a foreign carrier. The certification shall state with specificity each foreign country in which the applicant is, or is affiliated with, a foreign carrier. (47 C.F.R. § 63.18 (l)) IPLAN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS INC. (“IPLAN U.S.”) does not meet the definition of a foreign carrier because it is not authorized in any foreign country to engage in the provision of international telecommunications services to the public. IPLAN U.S.’s parent company, NSS S.A. (“NSS”) is authorized in Argentina to engage in the provision of international telecommunications services to the public and meets the definition of a foreign carrier. Accordingly, IPLAN U.S. certifies that it is affiliated with a foreign carrier in Argentina. IPLAN U.S. is not affiliated with any foreign carrier(s) other than NSS. Question 11 - 47 C.F.R. § 63.18(j) A certification as to whether or not the applicant seeks to provide international telecommunications services to any destination country for which any of the following is true: (1) The applicant is a foreign carrier in that country; or Not applicable (2) The applicant controls a foreign carrier in that country; or Not applicable (3) Any entity that owns more than 25 percent of the applicant, or that controls the applicant, controls a foreign carrier in that country. IPLAN U.S.’s parent company, NSS, owns more than 25 percent of IPLAN U.S. and is a foreign carrier in Argentina. IPLAN U.S. seeks to provide international telecommunications services to Argentina.

(4) Two or more foreign carriers (or parties that control foreign carriers) own, in the aggregate, more than 25 percent of the applicant and are parties to, or the beneficiaries of, a contractual relation (e.g., a joint venture or market alliance) affecting the provision or marketing of international basic telecommunications services in the United States. Not applicable The certification shall state with specificity the foreign carriers and destination countries. Question 11 - 47 C.F.R. § 63.18(k) For any country that the applicant has listed in response to paragraph (j) of this section that is not a member of the World Trade Organization, the applicant shall make a demonstration as to whether the foreign carrier has market power, or lacks market power, with reference to the criteria in §63.10(a). Not applicable. Argentina is a member of the World Trade Organization. Question 11 - 47 C.F.R. § 63.18(l) 47 C.F.R. § 63.18(l) is reserved and requires no response. Question 11 - 47 C.F.R. § 63.18(m) With respect to regulatory classification under §63.10 of this part, any applicant that is or is affiliated with a foreign carrier in a country listed in response to paragraph (i) of this section and that desires to be regulated as non-dominant for the provision of particular international telecommunications services to that country should provide information in its application to demonstrate that it qualifies for non-dominant classification pursuant to §63.10 of this part. (47 C.F.R. § 63.18(m)) IPLAN U.S. desires to be treated as non-dominant for the provision of international telecommunications services to Argentina for two reasons. First, while it is affiliated with a foreign carrier (NSS), that carrier is not a dominant provider of communications services in Argentina. In support of this assertion, IPLAN U.S. attaches documentation, titled “Statistics: Argentina Telecommunications Market,” demonstrating that its foreign affiliate NSS lacks 50 percent of the market share in the international transport and local access markets in Argentina. In addition, while the Commission’s List of Foreign Telecommunications Carriers that Are Presumed to Possess Market Power is not controlling for purposes of market power determination under Sections 63.10 (regulatory classification of U.S. international carriers) or 63.18 (contents of applications for international common carriers) of the FCC’s rules, the Foreign Carriers with Market Power listed for Argentina do not include IPLAN U.S’s foreign affiliate NSS, which is consistent with the documentation attached by IPLAN U.S. and supports IPLAN’s assertion that NSS is not a dominant provider of communications services in Argentina. Second, while IPLAN U.S. anticipates providing international switched services, it will only provide such services through the resale of an unaffiliated U.S. facilities-based carrier’s international switched services. At this time, IPLAN U.S. does not provide any international switched services. Thus, pursuant to FCC Rule 63.10(a)(2), (4), IPLAN U.S. qualifies as non-dominant with respect to its telecommunications services. 2

Question 12 Does the applicant seek authority to provide service to any destination described in paragraphs (1) through (4) of Section 63.18(j)? If yes, list those destinations in Attachment 1 as a response to question 12. Yes, IPLAN U.S. seeks to provide international telecommunications services to Argentina. Question 13 Does the applicant seek authority to provide service to any destinations other than those listed in response to question 12 where it has an affiliation with a foreign carrier? If yes, list those destinations in Attachment 1 as a response to question 13. Not applicable 3
