("Maskina Communications" or "Company"), irsuant to 47 C.F.R. § 63.25, hereby 1 ts extension of the Company‘s Special Temporar \uthority ("STA") to continue providi ~vice to customers pending consideration of a sep{ tely filed application for transferofco: File No. ITC—T/C—20050621—00232). On October 7, 2005, ina Communications was granted an STA (File No TC—STA— 20050926—00380) by the Cor ionto provide facilities—based and resold internatio . services pending consideration of a st »ly filed application for authority to transfer contro TC—T/C— 20050621—00232). _ That § is set to expire on April 5, 2006. Althoug Maskina Communications has worke zently to ensure that the transfer of control appl tion was timely processed, as of the of this filing, a final determination has not been ade with respect to the application. ntly, it is Maskina Communications‘ understandi that the transfer of control applicati being reviewed by the Department of Homelai Security ("DHS") to ensure that no co s regarding national security, public safety or law e arcement are present. Maskina Comn tions is fully cooperating with DHS, however, th rocess is not yet complete. While Ma Communications is hopeful that the review will be ampleted shortly, the Company has no s by which to assess the amount of timenecessary complete review and, thus, requests an nsion of 180 days from April 5, 2006. Grant of this extensio i the public interest as it will allow Maskina Comm ications to continue to provide co rications service to its customers. Perhaps e n more importantly, as Maskina Con cations is a wholesale telecommunications service rovider, discontinuance of the C y‘s service could result in a widespread loss of telecommunications service nd user customers of companies other than Maskina Communications. Such dis uance could affect thousands of consumers. M ; of the — companies which rely on M 2 Communications for wholesale service provide rvice to. end users on a prepaid basis. _._h consumers are often have lower incomes and Ie options available for the purchase telecommunications service than options which may be available to the public at large. In addition, since such customers have already purchased service, a service disruption may result in a situation in which they can not be made whole, even if refunds for lost service are available. As stated in Maskina Communications‘ original request for STA, an unfortunate oversight resulted in the delay in requesting Commission consent regarding the transfers of control at issue. The purchasers of Maskina Communications who were entering the U.S. telecommunications market through purchase of Maskina Communications did perform due diligence on the company through which they confirmed that Maskina Communications had the necessary authority to provide domestic and international telecommunications service in the U.S. However, the new owners did not have a complete understanding of the Commission‘s transfer of control requirements until sometime after the purchase of Maskina Communications had been consummated. This mistake was inadvertent. Maskina Communications has made every effort to be forthright with the Commission regarding the transfer of control including retaining
