Reliance Jio Infocomm USA, Inc. Request for STA ATTACHMENT 1 Reliance Jio Infocomm USA, Inc.

Response to Question 10 The Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security (“Team Telecom”) have not yet begun their review of the Application. The Applicant does not at this time know how long Team Telecom review will take, but anticipates that such review will conclude well after the time when the Commission could be expected to have concluded its streamlined review of the Application in the ordinary course. The Applicant requests that STA begin no later than thirty (30) days after the date of this filing, i.e., January 16, 2015, and last for a period of no less than 180 days, or until the Application is granted. During the period of the STA, the Applicant anticipates that it will begin providing international resold services, and may initiate the provision of international facilities-based services. The Applicant acknowledges that a grant of STA will not prejudice any future Commission action on the Application, and that grant of the STA may be revoked or modified by the Commission on its own motion, upon notice and without a hearing. Response to Question 12 The following information is submitted pursuant to Sections 63.18(i) through (m) of the rules: {00071189;v1}
