Streamlined ITC—S I A—2071950505—U40115 FIdHILLUCU 182015000878 Blue Casa Telephone, LLC MAY 0 62015 date: Re, ITC— T/c— &oi5 6565 ~ 6@ l G Policy Division ATTACHMIENT 1 %%%!E?c, ff!’{‘ InternationalBureat olicy Division , (8, . *?'“f' ws* bkete signature ___zwmug’__flmgfl____, This request seeks Special Temporary Authority for the itinued operation of Blue Casa Telephone, LLC ("BCT") under the ownership and control of ty individuals, Jeff Compton (FRN 0024575094) and Howard Brand (FRN 0024575086), per ag approval oftheir acquisition of such ownership and control. BCT commenced operations in 2011, after acquiring the ‘stomer base and associated assets of Blue Casa Communications, Inc. ("BCC") via an assig ient for the benefit of creditors. The assets acquired by BCTincluded BCC‘sInternat ial 214 operating authority, ITC—214—20030602—00265. The assignment of BCC‘s assets, in iding the 214 license, was. authorized by the Commission under File No. ITC—ASG—20110. +—00043. At the timeofthe acquisition, BCT was a wholly—ownec ibsidiary of TCAST Communications, Inc. ("TCAST"),‘ but under the day—to—day m agement ofMr. Compton and Mr. Brand. Approximately ten months later, ownership and cor i1 of BCT was acquired by Mr. Compton and Mr. Brand, with Mr. Compton obtaining a 49% 0 arship interest and Mr. Brand obtaining a 51% ownership interest. This transfer had been con aplated at the time of the BCC assignment but, for logistical reasons, ownership and control of ~T was maintained by TCAST on an interim basis. An applicationfor approval of thetransfer control wasfiledwith the California Public Utilities Commission in August 2011, and a d sion granting the application was issued on February 1, 2012, with the transaction being cons imated shortlythereafter. Although Mr. Brand and Mr. Compton were represented by an erienced, now—retired telecommunications attorney, the need to obtain Federal Comm: cations Commission ("FCC") approval of the change in control was inadvertently overlooked, r reasons that are unknown at this time. This o{/ersight was discovered on May 4, 2014, followir. in inquiry by FCC International Bureau staff in connection with a very recently—fil, unrelated application for approval of a transfer ofthe customer base of Telscape Commu ations, Inc. to BCT. A combined Joint Application for approval of the 2012 1 isfer of control was filed on May 5, 2015, pursuant to Rule 63.03 (47 C.F.R. § 63.03) and R: 63.24 (47 C.F.R. § 63.24). In the meantime, BCT and its owners request a grant of Special Temporary Authority to allow BCT to continue to serve its customers without interruption pending Commission approval of the Joint Application. BCT, Mr. Compton, and Mr. Brand acknowledge that grant of the requested STA will not prejudice any action the Commission may take on the Joint Application and that, once granted, the STA may be revoked on the Commission‘s own notice, without hearing. BCT, Mr. Compton, and Mr. Brand further acknowledge that grant of an STA and the Joint Application will not preclude enforcement action. ‘ TCAST Communications, Inc. ceased operations after filing for bankruptcy in 2013. {
