                                          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 of the 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 proforma 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 proforma 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.
