Application for authority pursuant to
Section 214 Communications Act of 1934,
as amended, to transfer control nunc pro
tunc of an authorized international carrier


                                     JOINT APPLICATION

       Access One Communications Corp., formerly known as CLECHolding Corp. ("Access

One") and OmniCall, Inc. ("OmniCall") (collectively "Applicants"), by their undersigned counsel,

hereby request authority, pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,

47 U.S.C. §214, and Section 63.18 ofthe Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.18, to authorize nune

pro tunc a transfer of control of OmniCall to Access One. For exigent business reasons, the

Applicants needed to quickly consummate a transaction whereby Access One acquired ownership

and control of OmniCall, and OmniCall became a wholly owned subsidiary of Access One. The

Applicants assure the Commission that they will in the future, seek all necessary prior approvals in

compliance with Commission rules.

       Applicants respectfully request expedited treatment of this Application in order to permit

them to consummate the proposed transfer of control transaction as soon as possible. In support of


this request, Applicants not: that this Application is eligible for streamlined processing pursuant to

Section 63.12 of the Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.12, for the reasons stated below.

       In support of this Application, Applicants submit the following information:

I.     THE TRANSACTION

       Access One and OmniCall have determined that they will realize significant economic and

marketing efficiencies by establishing OmniCall as a wholly owned subsidiary of Access One.

Accordingly, Access One and OmniCall have entered into an agreement to transfer control of

OmniCall to Access One. The proposed transaction is structured as a merger of OmniCall and a

newly created subsidiary of Access One formed specifically for purposes of consummating the

transaction ("Newco"). OmniCall will merge with and into Newco, with OmniCall being the

surviving entity. Following the merger, OmniCall will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Access

One. OmniCall is a non—dominant common carrier that holds international 214 authorization.

       Although the proposed transaction will transfer ownership and control of OmniCall tc

Access One, it will not involve a change in the manner in which OmniCall provides service to its

international customers. Immediately following thetransaction, OmniCall will continue to provide

high quality telecommunications services to its customers pursuant to its authorization granted by

the Commission, with no change in the rates or terms and conditions of service currently enjoyed

by its existing customers.    The transfer of control, therefore, will be virtually transparent to

OmniCall‘s customers in terms of the international services that they receive.
