   On September :         13, Aggre      o USA acquired all of the assets of Krush, including        irus s
   licenses, authort;     is, custome     accounts and receivables, customer and vendor contr        s i i
   agreements, equ        it, and inte   ctual property. Applicants‘ failure to obtain Commission    pre
   for the transfer c     itrol was in   vertent. Applicants were not aware of their obligation u_    er :
   Cormnmunications       and the C¢_    mission‘s rules to obtain approval for the proposed tr:     sac i
   until consulting 1     Regulatory     ounsel, and very much‘regret any inconvenience this fi      3 r 7
   cause the Comm          orits staff

   Grant of this STA request will serve the public interest. It will allow Krush to provide uninterrupted
   telecommunications services during the pendency of the assignment application before the FCC,
   thereby avoiding the loss of vital communications services by its customers. Further, as described.
   more fully in the assignment application, allowing Krush to continue operations until such time as
   the application is approved will promote competition in the domestic and international
   communications services marketplace. Aggregato USA will be able to provide Krush‘s customers
   with additional and advanced telecommunications services that will enhance the services they
   already receive. Finally, grant of the instant request will allow Applicants to come into compliance,
   and begin the formal wind—down process for Krush, thereby reducing the administrative burden on
   the Commission.

   The Applicants acknowledge that grant of this STA request will not prejudice any action the
   Commission might take on the Joint Application, and the STA may be revoked by the Commission on
   its own motion and without a hearing. Applicants further acknowledge that grant of this STA
   request and the Joint Application will not preclude enforcement action.

Hi,

On October 18, 2013, Krush Communications LLC (Krush or Assignor) and Aggregato (USA) Inc., (Aggregato USA or
Assignee) filed a combined domestic and international applications for the transfer of assets and Section 214
authorization of Krush to Aggregato USA. (WC DK 13—272 and ITC—ASG—20131018—00286). On September 1, 2013,
without Commission authorization, Aggregato USA acquired all of the assets of Krush‘s license, authorization, customer
accounts and receivables, customer and vender contracts and agreements, equipment, and intellectual property.

Aggregate USA is a wholly—owned subsidiary of Aggregate Global Limited ("Aggregate Global") an Australian
company. Aggregate Global is owned by AGMO Holdings Pty Limited ("AGMOHoldings") and M2 Telecommunications
Group Limited ("M2 Telecommunications"). AGMO Holdings is a privately held company owned by llario Faenza, Allan
Ghiassi, Alan Barakat and Keith Wilson, citizens of Australia. M2 Telecommunications, Australia‘s fourth largest
telecommunications company, is a publicly held company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. None of M2
Telecommunications‘ shareholders hold an ownership and/or voting interest of 10% or morein M2

On November 18, 2013, applicants requested Special Temporary Authority (STA) to allow Krush to continue to provide
service to customers pending Commission approval of the above listed underlying applications. (WC DK 13—272 and ITC—
STA—20131118—00311).

Please let us know if you have any national security, law enforcement, foreign policy or trade concerns with grant of the
STA requests by C.O.B. Monday, December 2, 2013. (We will formally refer to underlying application when the public
notice is released.)
