       Pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §
214 (1997), and Section 63.18 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C. F. R. § 63.18 (1997), Interoute
Telecommunications, Inc. ("Interoute") and American International Telephone, Inc. ("AlT")
(collectively, "Applicants") hereby request authority to effectuate the transfer of control of AlT,
an international carrier, to Interoute. Applicants are non-dominant carriers separately authorized
by this Commission to provide international telecommunications services.
       As fully described herein, approval of the transfer will permit Interoute and AlT to
realize significant economic and marketing efficiencies which will enhance their ability to
continue providing high quality, low cost telecommunications services and to compete more
effectively in the international telecommunications marketplace.       Accordingly, grant of this
Application will benefit the public interest.


       In support of this Application, Applicants submit the following information:
I.     THE PARTIES
       A.      Interoute Telecommunications, Inc.
       Interoute is a privately-held Delaware corporation whose principal office is located at 230
Park Avenue, Suite 1000, New York, New York, 10169. A provider of telecommunications and
consulting services, Interoute has global authority to provide resold and facilities-based
international telecommunications services.'
       Interoute is considered non-dominant under the Commission's Rules. Interoute has no
affiliation, within the meaning of Section 63. 18(h)(1)(i) of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.
§ 63. 18(h)(1)(i) (1997), with a dominant U.S. or foreign facilities-based carrier.
       Information concerning Interoute' s legal, technical, and financial qualifications to provide
service was submitted with Interoute' s application for Section 214 authorization and is, therefore,
already a matter of record before the Commission.
               B.      American International Telephone, Inc.
       AlT, a Delaware corporation, has global authority to provide resold and facilities-based
     1 Overseas Common Carrier Section 214 Applications Actions Taken, Public Notice, ITC
97-720 (Jan. 9, 1998). Interoute Telecommunications, LLC, the original Section 214 licensee,
was merged with a new corporation formed on May 8, 1998 by Interoute Telecommunications,
LLC' s shareholders known as "Interoute Telecommunications, Inc." The purpose of the merger,
which occurred on May 11, 1998, was to change the company's status from a limited liability
corporation to a C corporation. Commission authorization for this p forma transfer, which
did not involve a change in underlying ownership and control, has already been requested.
In Re Interoute Telecommunications, Inc., Application for Consent to Transfer Control (Sept.
3, 1998); and Letter from Thomas K. Crowe and Elizabeth Holowinski to Troy Taimer at 2
(Nov. 9, 1998). Applicants therefore request that the Commission's determination in this matter
reflect that the transferee in the instant transfer of control is "Interoute Telecommunications,
Inc." and not the original licensee, "Interoute Telecommunications, LLC."
                                                  2


international telecommunications services •2 AlT is considered a non-dominant carrier under the
Commission's Rules. AlT has no affiliation, within the meaning of Section 63. 18(h)(1)(i) of the
Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.18(h)(1)(i) (1997), with a dominant U.S. or foreign
facilities-based carrier.
       Information concerning AlT's legal, technical, and fmancial qualifications to provide
service was submitted with the company's application for Section 214 authorization and is,
therefore, already a matter of record before the Commission.
II.    DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION
       On September 10, 1998, Interoute, H. Bruce Bronson, Jr. and AlT entered into a Letter
Agreement ("Letter") whereby Interoute agreed to acquire AlT by purchasing all of its
outstanding shares from AlT shareholders. The Letter provided for an immediate sale of 26%
of the shares of AlT (all of the shares owned by Mr. Bronson and certain other shareholders of
AlT) to Interoute on September 10, 1998.    Subject to the Commission's approval, shareholders
owning approximately 46% of the common stock and all preferred stock will transfer their
shares of AlT to Interoute according to a share purchase agreement expected to be executed in
the near future. Such shareholders will receive a cash payment in return for their interest in
   2 Overseas Common Carrier Section 214 Applications Actions Taken, Public Notice,
Report No. 1-8299, DA 98-780 (April 23, 1998); and Overseas Common Carrier Section 214
Applications Actions Taken, Public Notice, File No. ITC-95-578 (January 17, 1998).
       As part of this transaction, H. Bruce Bronson Jr., an officer and one of the two directors
of AlT, delivered a resignation which was accepted on September 25, 1998. To the extent that
either Mr. Bronson's resignation, effective September 25, 1998, and/or the sale of shares on
September 10, 1998 constitutes a transfer of control, AlT seeks Commission approval ppç p
tunc.
                                                3


AlT.   A definitive closing date has not been set at this time.         Essentially, the proposed
acquisition of AlT by Interoute will result in a transfer of control of AlT to Interoute.
       Upon consummation of the acquisition described herein, the Applicants expect that for
the foreseeable future both Interoute and AlT will continue operating their respective
telecommunications businesses under their current names, and they will continue to provide high
quality, affordable telecommunications services to the public. As such, this merger will not in
any way disrupt service or cause inconvenience or confusion to the customers of AlT. Indeed,
the merger will be virtually seamless to retail customers in terms of the services they currently
receive, but it may make additional products and services available to both Interoute' s and AlT's
customers throughout the country.
       Applicants expect to consummate the acquisition subject to the approval of the
Commission, as well as the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.4
       Applicants request Commission approval for authority to effectuate this transaction,
thereby transferring control of AlT to Interoute.
       Pursuant to a ruling of the U.S. District Courtfor the Southern District of New York
("Court"), AlT is prohibited from selling or disposing of its assets or stock without prior Court
approval.      Order of Hon. Sonia Sotomayor, Index No. 98 Civ. 6123 (Oct. 9, 1998). This
matter stems from a complaint filed on August 28, 1998 by WorldCom, Inc. and WorldCom
Network Services, Inc. (collectively, "WorldCom") for amounts allegedly due to WorldCom
pursuant to a contract to furnish telecommunications services. AlT filed an answer to the
complaint on October 6, 1998 and asserted various counterclaims. Thus, the Applicants will not
consummate the instant transaction until requisite Court approval is obtained.
                                                 4


III.   PUBLIC INTEREST
       Consummation of the proposed transaction will serve the public interest in promoting
competition in the international telecommunications market by providing Interoute and AlT the
opportunity to strengthen their competitive positions by combining their financial resources and
complementary services, facilities and expertise. The transaction creates access, by AlT, to the
larger capital base of its new parent company, Interoute. AlT' s operations will more readily
increase in size and profitability, due to enhanced economies of scale.        Accordingly, the
proposed acquisition will benefit consumers through improved services and lower rates, thereby
promoting competition in the international telecommunications market.
       The Commission recognizes that the international market for switched voice services is
becoming increasingly competitive in nature and that such competition benefits consumers
Given the Commission's desire to foster competition in the international switched services
market, grant of the proposed transaction is in the public interest.

      (h)     (4)   Interoute' s affiliated carriers in the U.K., France, Germany, Denmark,
                    Netherlands, Switzerland, Portugal and Spain own and/or control
                    telecommunications facilities in each of these countries.
      (h)     (5)   Applicants acknowledge that they are responsible for the continuing
                    accuracy of the certifications required herein, and that they will notify the
                    Commission of any change in substance as required by the Commission's
                    rules.
      (h) (6)-(7)   Interoute's affiliated carriers in the U.K., France, Germany, Denmark,
                    Netherlands, Switzerland, Portugal and Spain do not have the ability to
                    discriminate against unaffiliated U.S. international carriers through control
                    of bottleneck services or facilities in any of these countries or in any other
                    destination country to which Applicants will provide service.
                    Additionally, the Commission has found the U.K., France, Germany,
                                               9


                      Denmark, and the Netherlands to be equivalent countries.8
       (h)     (8)    Interoute desires to be regulated as a non-dominant carrier for all of the
                      services included in its 214 Authorization and destination countries
                      including the U.K., France, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands,
                      Switzerland, Portugal and Spain. Interoute' s affiliated carriers do not
                      have the potential to discriminate against unaffihiated U.S. carriers through
                      such means as preferential operating agreements, preferential routing of
                      traffic, exclusive or more favorable transiting agreements, or preferential
                      domestic access and interconnection arrangements. None of Interoute's
                      foreign affiliated carriers are monopoly, duopoly or oligopoly providers
                      of services in their respective home countries. Rather, each of Interoute 'S
                      foreign affiliated carriers are resellers which compete against such
                      carriers. In addition, all of Interoute ' s foreign affiliated carriers control
                      less than fifty percent (50%) of the market share in each of their
                      respective home countries . As such, because Interoute' s foreign carrier
                      affiliates clearly do not have the potential to discriminate against
                      unaffihiated U.S. carriers, Interoute should be regulated as a non-dominant
                      carrier.
       (i)     As required by Section 63.18(i) of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63. 18(i)
               (1997), Applicants certify that they have not agreed to accept nor shall they
               accept in the future any special concessions, as defined by the Commission's
               Rules, directly or indirectly from any foreign carrier or administration with
               respect to traffic or revenue flows between the U.S. and any foreign country for
               which Applicants may be authorized to serve.
       (j)     Applicants are not subject to a denial of Federal benefits pursuant to Section 5301
               of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. Applicants' certifications pursuant to
               Section 1.2002 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.2002 (1997),
               (implementing the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. § 3301 (1997)) are

interest, convenience and necessity would be furthered by grant of this application.
