Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of STM Wireless, Inc., Pequot Capital File No. __ Management Inc., SkyOnline, Inc., and SkyOnline Communications, Inc. Application Pursuant to Sections 214 and 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act, as Amended, to Transfer Control of SkyOnline, Inc. and to Exceed the Indirect Foreign Ownership Benchmark in SkyOnline Communications, Inc. APPLICATION FOR TRANSFER OF CONTROL I. INTRODUCTION STM Wireless, Inc. (°STM"), Pequot Capital Management, Inc. ("Pequot"), SkyOnline, Inc. ("SkyOnline"), and SkyOnline Communications, Inc. ("SkyOnline Communications") (collectively "Applicants") hereby request approval, pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934 ("Communications Act"), for the proposed investments which will result in the loss of negative control of SkyOnline by STM and Pequot. Additionally, as two of the proposed investors, Telfin S.A. ("Telfin") and Nouvel Investissement en Technologie S.A. ("de Kergolay") are foreign companies which propose to have a greater than 25 percent interest in SkyOnline, Applicants request approval, pursuant to Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act, to exceed the indirect foreign ownership benchmark up to non—controlling levels in SkyOnline

Communications, the wholly—owned subsidiary of SkyOnline and the proposed holder of SkyOnline‘searth station authorization.‘ Part II of this Application describes the proposed transaction and demonstrates that grant of this Application is in the public interest. Part III provides the information required by 47 C.F.R. § 63.18. II. DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION AND PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT SkyOnline holds a Section 214 authorization to provide global facilities— based and resale services. It also holds an earth station authorization to provide services via Intelsat and Solidaridad, the Mexican satellite system. Under the proposed transaction, SkyOnline proposes to assign its earth station authorization to its wholly—owned subsidiary, SkyOnline Communications. At the same time, two foreign companies, de Kergolay (Luxembourg) and Telfin (Belgium), propose to invest in SkyOnline, resulting in the loss of negative control by both STM and Pequot. As a result, upon FCC approval of the proposed transaction, SkyOnline will not be owned or controlled by any one corporation or alliance of corporations. Rather, SkyOnline will be owned and controlled by several unrelated entities as follows: de Kergolay and Telfin will each have a 28.31 percent interest and two Board seats; STM will retain a 16.57 percent interest and one Board seat; Pequot, a Delaware corporation, ‘ Concurrently with this Application, Applicants are submitting the requisite 312 Forms, requesting FCC approval for: (1) the pro forma assignment of SkyOnline‘s earth station authorization from SkyOnline to SkyOnline Communications (attached as Exhibit A); and (2) the transfer of control of SkyOnline Communications, as more fully described below (attached as Exhibit B).

will retain a 16.08 percent interest and one Board seat; Remec, Inc. ("Remec"), a California corporation, will have a 10.73 percent interest. The CEO will also serve as an additional member of the Board. Thus, it is clear that, upon approval of the proposed transaction, no one entity will have either affirmative or negative control of SkyOnline. The proposed change in control, including the proposedforeign investment, is in the public interest. The proposed investments will result in the availability of greater financial resources for SkyOnline, permitting it to expand services and provide increased competition in the market for telecommunications services. Additionally, the FCC has established a strong presumption that indirect foreign investment above the 25 percent benchmark establishedin Section 310(b)(4) serves the public interest when the investing companyis from a World Trade Organization (‘WTO") country, such as Belgium." Specifically, the Commission stated that: Because additional foreign investment can promote competition in the U.S. market, we conclude that the public interest will be served by permitting more open investment by entities from WTO Member countries in U.S. common carrier wireless licenses with the entry policies we justify and describe above in Section III.A [i.e., a policy of open entry absent a very high risk to competition in the U.S. market]. We note that such an analysis could apply in various contexts: petitions for declaratory rulings by existing or prospective licensees that the public interest would be served by allowing them to exceed 25 percent indirect & In the Matter of Rules and Policies on Foreign Participation in the U.S. Telecommunications Market, 12 FCC Red. 23891 (1997) ("Foreign Participation Order"). See also In the Matter of Amendment of the Commission‘s Regulatory Policies to Allow Non—U.S. Licensed Space Stations to Provide Domestic and International Satellite Service in the United States, 12 FCC Red. 24094, 1| 151 (1997).

foreign ownership; initial license applications; and transfers of control.> Further, in discussing this "very high risk" standard, the Commission concluded that: wecannot at this time envision a circumstance in which indirect foreign investments by entities from WTO Member countries that do not result in a transfer of control will pose a very high risk to competition.* Here, the proposed foreign investment is indirect (as the earth station authorization at issue will be held by SkyOnline Communications, the wholly—owned subsidiary of SkyOnline), and the proposed foreign investors are from Belgium and Luxembourg, both WTO Members. Moreover, these two companies are completely unrelated, and thus they will not control SkyOnline, either singly or in combination. Accordingly, the Commission‘s strong public interest presumption is fully applicable. III. INFORMATION REQUIRED BY SECTION 63.18 The following information is provided in compliance with 47 C.F.R. § 63.18: (a) The name, address and telephone number of the Licensee is: SkyOnline, Inc. 2000 L Street, NW. #200 Washington, D.C. 20036 (202) 530—5240 Foreign Participation Order at «[ 111. 4 Id. at 1 112.

(e) Applicants seek authority, pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 63.18(h)(3), for the change in control described in Part II above. (f) Not Applicable.

(g) Applicants are requesting authority pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 63.18(e)(3). The grant of this Application will not constitute a major action as defined in 47 C.F.R. §1.1305. Accordingly, no environmental information is required to be submitted with this Application under 47 C.F.R. § 1.1311. (h) Upon approval of this Application, SkyOnline will have the following direct and indirect 10—percent or greater shareholders: (1) STM, with a 16.57 percent interest; (2) Telfin, with a 28.31 percent interest; (3) Pequot, with a 16.08 percent interest;© (4) de Kergolay, with a 28.31 percent interest; and (4) Remec, with a 10.73 percent interest. There are no interlocking directorates with foreign carriers. The principal place of business of STM is: STM Wireless, Inc. One Mauchly Irvine, CA 92618 (714) 450—9282 The principal place of business of de Kergolay is: Nouvel Investissement en Technologie S.A. clo Fidei S.A. 50, Val Fleuri L—1526 Luxembourg (352) 44 09 29 5 See Overseas Common Carriers Section 214 Applications Actions Taken, File No. ITC—98—114, 13 FCC Red. 6496 (SkyOnline was previously known as Direc—to— Phone International, Inc.). ' © Pequot‘s interest is held through its two subsidiaries, Pequot Private Equity Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and Pequot Offshore Private Equity Fund, Inc.

Suez Lyonnaise Telecom is owned 100 percent by Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux (Belgium), which in turn owns 99.4 percent of Societé Generale de Belgique ("SGB") (Belgium). SGB own 96 percent of Tractabel (Belgium), which owns 99.9 percent of Telfin. (J) SkyOnline certifies, by signature to this Application, that it does not seek to provide service to any country in which (1) SkyOnline is a foreign carrier; or (2) SkyOnline controls a foreign carrier; or (3) two or more foreign carriers (or parties that control foreign carriers) together own more than 25 percent of SkyOnline and are parties to, or beneficiaries of, a contractual relation affecting the provision or marketing of international basic telecommunications services in the United States.

(Kk) Upon approval of the proposed transaction, SkyOnline will be affiliated with a foreign carrier in France. France is a member of the WTO. (1) As demonstrated in paragraph (m) below, SkyOnline is entitled, pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 63.10(a)(3), to non—dominant status on all international routes, including affiliated routes. (m) SkyOnline continues to qualify for non—dominant status on all routes. As noted in item (i) above, upon approval of the proposed transaction, SkyOnline will be affiliated with a carrier, Suez Lyonnaise Telecom, in France. Suez Lyonnaise Telecom is a competitive carrier which provides voice and data services via a cable network. As a competitive carrier, Suez Lyonnaise Telecom clearly controls less than 50 percent of the local access and international transport markets. In short, SkyOnline is not affiliated with any foreign carrier with sufficient market power to affect adversely competition in the U.S. market, and thus SkyOnline is entitled, under Section 63.10(a)(3), to non— dominant status on all routes. (n) Applicants certify that they have not agreed to accept special concessions directly or indirectly from any foreign carrier or administration with respect to any U.S. international route where the foreign carrier possesses sufficient market power on the foreign end of the route to affect competition adversely in the U.S. market and will not enter into such agreements in the future. (0) By their signatures to this Application, Applicants certify pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 1.2002 that they are not subject to denial of any federal benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti—Drug Abuse Act of 1988. See 21 U.S.C. § 853a. (P) Not applicable.

IV. CONCLUSION For the reasons set out above, Applicants hereto request that the Commission promptly grant this application to transfer control of SkyOnline and to exceed the indirect foreign investment benchmark in SkyOnline Communications, Inc., the proposed holder of SkyOnline‘s earth station authorization.

Exhibit A, page 1 of 1 EXHIBIT A STATEMENT OF FOREIGN OWNERSHIP Upon approval of the proposed transaction described in Exhibit B, Licensee SkyOnline Communications, Inc. ("SkyOnline Communications") will be (as it is currently) 100 percent owned by SkyOnline, Inc. SkyOnline, Inc. will not be owned or controlled by any one entity. However, two foreign companies, Nouvel Investissement en Technologie S.A. ("de Kergolay"), a Luxembourg corporation, and Telfin S.A. ("Telfin"), a Belgium corporation, will hold interests above 25 percent (i.e., 28.31 percent each).

Exhibit B, page 1 of 1 EXHIBIT B DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED TRANSACTION AND STATEMENT OF PUBLIC INTEREST This application requests authority for the second stepof a two—step transfer of control transaction. In step one, SkyOnline, Inc. ("SkyOnline") is requesting authority to assign the earth station authorization at issue here to its wholly—owned subsidiary, SkyOnline Communications, Inc. ("SkyOnline Communications").‘ in this step two, SkyOnline and SkyOnline Communications request authority to transfer control of SkyOnline Communications from STM Wireless, Inc. ("STM") and Pequot Capital Management, Inc. ("Pequot"), to SkyOnline itself. More specifically, two foreign companies, Nouvel Investissement en Technologie S.A. ("de Kergolay") (Luxembourg) and Telfin S.A. ("Telfin") (Belgium) have agreed toinvest in SkyOnline, diluting STM‘s and Pequot‘s interests. As a result, upon FCC approval of the proposed transaction, SkyOnlinewill no longer be owned or controlled by any one corporation or alliance of corporations. Rather, SkyOnline will be owned and controlled by several unrelated entities as follows: de Kergolay and Telfin will each have a 28.31 percent interest and two Board seats; STM will retain a 16.57 percent interest and one Board seat; Pequot, a Connecticut corporation, will have a 16.08 percent interest and one Board seat; Remec, Inc., a California corporation, will have a 10.73 percent interest. The CEO of SkyOnline will also serve as an additional member of the Board. Thus, it is clear that, upon approval of the proposed transaction, no one entity will have either affirmative or negative control of SkyOnline. SkyOnline Communications will continue to be 100 percent owned by SkyOnline. The proposed change in control is in the public interest. The proposed investments will result in the availability of greater resources for SkyOnline, permitting it to expand services and provide increased competition in the market for telecommunications services. ‘ Concurrently with this Application, SkyOnline and SkyOnline Communications are submitting: (1) an FCC Form 312 for the proposed pro forma assignment of SkyOnline‘s earth station authorization to SkyOnline Communications (attached as Exhibit C); and (2) an Application pursuant to Sections 214 and 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act, as amended, to transfer control of SkyOnline‘s Title II authorization and to exceed Section 310(b)(4)‘s indirect foreign investment benchmark in SkyOnline Communications (attached as Exhibit D).
