                                        Transfer of Control of International Section 214 Authorizations

           Dear Ms. Dortch:

                          Pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
           and Section 63.24(d) and Section 63.24 (f) of the Commission‘s rules, Birch Telecom, Inc.
           ("Birch Telecom"), by undersigned counsel, hereby notifies the Commission that the _
           company and all of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for bankruptcy protection _
           under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on August 12, 2005. Accordingly, Birch
           Telecom now operates as Birch Telecom, Inc., Debtor—in—Possession ("Birch DIP") and
           each of Birch Telecom‘s subsidiaries also has been accorded Debtor—in—Possession status.‘
           Given that the bankruptcy filing did not result in a change in the ultimate ownership or
           control of Birch Telecom, however,the transaction resulted only in a proforma
           assignment and proforma transfer of control of the international Section 214
           authorizations held by the relevant Birch Telecom subsidiaries."

                          Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a certification that the assignment and
          transfer of control were.proforma and that, together with all previous proforma


           !     Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a list ofthe international Section 214 authorizations impacted by the
                 Birch Telecom bankruptcy and the subsidiary to which each international Section 214 authorization has
                 been issued.

          *      Each international Section 214 authorization underwent a pro forma assignment from the relevant
                 subsidiary to that same subsidiary as Debtor—in—Possession. In addition, each subsidiary holding an
                 international Section 214 authorization underwent an indirect pro forma transfer of control from Birch
                 Telecom to Birch DIP. The transfer of control is pro forma because the shareholders of Birch Telecom
                 and Birch DIP are identical.
