                                    JOINT APPLICATION

1.        INTRODUCTION

          A.    Summary of Transaction

          IXC Holdings, Inc. ("IXCH" or "Assignor") and TelePacific Managed Services ("TMS"

or "Assignee") (together, the "Applicants"), pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act,

as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 214, and Sections 63.04 and 63.24 of the Commission's Rules, 47

C.F.R. §§ 63.04, 63.24, respectfully request authority to complete a transaction whereby TMS

will acquire certain assets, including certain customer accounts, from IXCH. Applicants file this

Application in connection with an Asset Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") dated April 28,

2011. Through the Agreement, IXCH has agreed to sell to TMS certain assets, including its

customers and related network facilities. As a result of the transaction, the customers will be



A/74249270.3


transferred to TMS, which will become the service provider for those customers. As described

below, the proposed transaction will be virtually transparent to customers of IXCH in terms of

the services that those customers receive and the rates and terms of those services.

          B.      Request for Expedited Consideration

          As set forth below, TMS, through its parent U.S. TelePacific Corp. ("TelePacific"), has

significant    financial   resources   and   substantial   experience   operating   as   a   regulated

telecommunications provider. Also, the proposed transaction is structured to ensure that existing

IXCH customers will continue to enjoy uninterrupted service, and immediately following the

proposed transaction, customers of IXCH will continue to receive services under the same rates,

terms and conditions as those services are presently provided. In light of the substantial benefits

that the Applicants expect from the proposed transaction, Applicants seek expedited approval to

allow Applicants to complete the proposed transaction as soon as possible.

          C.      Request for Streamlined Processing

          Applicants respectfully submit that this Application is eligible for streamlined processing

pursuant to Section 63.03 and 63.12 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 63.03 & 63.12.

With respect to domestic authority, this Application is eligible for streamlined processing

pursuant to Section 63.03(b)(2)(i) because, immediately following the transactions, (1)

Applicants and their affiliates, as defined in Section 3(l) of the Communications Act

("Affiliates") combined will hold less than a ten percent (10%) share of the interstate,

interexchange market; (2) Applicants and their Affiliates will provide local exchange service

only in areas served by dominant local exchange carriers (none of which is a party to the

proposed transactions) and; (3) none of the Applicants or their Affiliates is dominant with respect

to any service.




A/74249270.3                                       2


         With respect to international authority, this Application is eligible for streamlined

processing pursuant to Section 63.12(a)-(b) of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. §63.12(a)-(b). In

particular, Section 63.12(c)(1) is inapplicable because none of the Applicants is a foreign carrier, or

is affiliated with any foreign carriers and none of the scenarios outlined in Section 63.12(c) of the

Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.12(c), applies.

         In support of this Application, Applicants provide the following information:

II.       DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLICANTS

          A.     IXC Holdings, Inc. (Assignor)

headquarters located at 515 S. Flower Street, 47th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90071-2201.

distance, data and Internet services to small-to-medium sized businesses in Nevada and

California. TelePacific's affiliate Mpower Communications Corp., a Nevada corporation, also

serves customers in Nevada and California, and its affiliate Arrival Communications, Inc., a

Delaware corporation, serves customers in California. With thousands of customers, TelePacific

          C.     Section 214 Authorizations

214 authority granted in File No. ITC-214-20101112-00459.


A174249270.3                                       3


          TMS holds blanket domestic Section 214 authority . It does not currently provide

international telecommunications services or hold international Section 214 authority . Pursuant

to Section 63.21(h), TMS intends to provide international telecommunications services under its

parent company ' s authorization. Its parent, TelePacific , holds blanket domestic Section 214

authority and holds international Section 214 authority granted in File No. ITC-214-19970828-

00514.

III.      DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION

          Applicants propose to complete a transaction ("Transaction "), pursuant to the Agreement,

through which TMS will acquire certain assets of IXCH, including its customers and related

network facilities. Applicants are not seeking to assign IXCH's existing Section 214

authorizations . TMS will offer domestic interstate services pursuant to its blanket 214 authority

and will offer international services pursuant to the authority held by its parent company,

TelePacific. As a result of the proposed Transaction, TMS will replace IXCH as the service

provider to the IXCH customers.

          Applicants emphasize that although the proposed Transaction will involve a transfer of

customers, following the proposed Transaction those customers will continue to receive service

from TMS under the same rates , terms and conditions as the services currently provided pursuant

to IXCH's customer contracts and service orders. As a result, the proposed Transaction will be

virtually transparent to the customers in terms of the services that they currently receive. In

addition, all of the affected customers will receive notice in compliance with the Commission's

Rules.I Moreover, because TMS is acquiring operating assets of IXCH necessary to provide

service to the transferred customers, TMS will have all of the assets required to continue to

i
       TMS will file the required certificate of compliance under separate cover upon the
issuance of notice letters to the customers.


A174249270.3                                      4


provide high-quality services to the customers it acquires.     As demonstrated below, TMS is

already well qualified to provide service to customers of IXCH.

IV.       PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT

          The proposed Transaction described above will serve the public interest by ensuring that

the IXCH customers enjoy continuity of high-quality telecommunications service. In particular,

the assignment of the IXCH Customers, together with the assignment of other assets required to

serve those customers, will ensure that the customers continue to receive uninterrupted interstate

and international services. Also, the proposed Transaction will not cause customer confusion.

Because the rates, terms and conditions of service will not change as a result of the transfer, the

proposed Transaction will be virtually transparent to customers in terms of the services those

customers receive.

          Moreover, the fitness of TelePacific, the parent of TMS, to own a licensee of common

carrier fixed point-to-point microwave services as well as domestic and international

telecommunications services was confirmed by the Commission in connection with the 2011

acquisition of Nextweb, Inc.,2 the 2010 acquisition of assets from O1 Communications, Inc.,3 the

2007 acquisition of Arrival Communications, Inc.,4 and the 2006 acquisition of Mpower
