Answer to Question 13 The proposed transaction was a sale of substantially all of the Citys telecommunications assets and business operations to TriCo, including the International Section 214 Authorization for Global Resale of Crosslake Communications, the Citys telecommunications department. Answer to Questions 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 Neither the City nor TriCo nor any of TriCos owners : (a) is a foreign carrier; (b) controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with a foreign carrier; (c) is affiliated with a foreign carrier; nor (d) will be affiliated with a foreign carrier upon consummation of the proposed transfer of control. Answer to Question 20 The Applicants qualify for streamlined processing pursuant to Section 63.12 of the Commission's Rules because: (a) neither the City nor TriCo nor any of TriCos owners is affiliated with any foreign carrier in any destination market; (b) neither the City nor TriCo nor any of TriCos owners is affiliated with any dominant U.S. carrier whose international switched or private line services TriCo seeks authority to resell; (c) neither the City nor TriCo nor any of TriCos owners seeks authority to provide switched basic services over private lines to any country (much less, to any country for which the Commission has not previously authorized the provision of switched services over private lines); and (d) neither the City nor TriCo nor any of TriCos owners has any reason to believe that the Commission will inform it in writing that this application is not eligible for streamlined processing.
