                       FOR THE PRO FORMA ASSIGNMENT OF
                   INTERNATIONAL SECTION 214 AUTHORIZATION

         This filing notifies the Commission pursuant to Section 63.24(f) of the Commission’s
rules of the pro forma assignment of an international Section 214 authorization from and to
subsidiaries controlled by AT&T Inc. (“AT&T”).1 Specifically, on February 28, 2015, Cricket
Communications Inc. (“Cricket Communications”) converted from a corporation to a limited
liability company. This resulted in the pro forma assignment of the international Section 214
authorization held by Cricket License Company LLC (“Cricket License”).2 Simultaneous with
the conversion of Cricket Communications to a limited liability company, direct ownership of
Cricket Communications was transferred from Leap Wireless International, Inc. (“Leap Wireless
International”) to Cricket Holdco, Inc. (“Cricket Holdco”). Leap Wireless International now
indirectly owns Cricket Communications via Cricket Holdco. Cricket Communications and
Leap Wireless International are both indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of AT&T. Accordingly,
the assignment was pro forma in nature.

                                                           Notification of Pro Forma Assignment
                                                                                     Attachment 1

        This filing hereby notifies the Commission pursuant to Section 63.24(f) of its rules, 47
C.F.R. § 63.24(f), of the pro forma assignment of an international Section 214 authorization held
by Cricket Communications, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T. Specifically, on
February 28, 2015, Cricket Communications Inc. (“Cricket Communications”) converted from a
corporation to a limited liability company. This resulted in the pro forma transfer of control of
the international Section 214 authorization held by Cricket License Company LLC (“Cricket
License”).4 Simultaneous with the conversion of Cricket Communications to a limited liability
company, direct ownership of Cricket Communications was transferred from Leap Wireless
International, Inc. (“Leap Wireless International”) to Cricket Holdco, Inc. (“Cricket Holdco”).
Leap Wireless International now indirectly owns Cricket Communications via Cricket Holdco.
Cricket Communications and Leap Wireless International are both indirect wholly owned
subsidiaries of AT&T.

        This restructuring does not change the ultimate ownership or control of the international
Section 214 authorization, as AT&T has continued to control it both before and after the
restructuring. Accordingly, this assignment is pro forma in nature. The Commission has
previously stated that “[r]egulatory review of [pro forma] transactions yields no significant
public interest benefits, but may delay or hinder transactions that could provide substantial
financial, operational, or administrative benefits for carriers.”5
