ARRIVAL COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
Application for Consent to Transfer International Resale
Authority Pursuant to Section 214 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as Amended.




                                        APPLICATION


       American Communications Network, Inc. a/k/a ACN Communicétions, Inc. ("ACN")

and Arrival Cormmunications, Inc. ("Arrival") hereby request consent pursuant to Section 214 of

the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 214 (1982), and Section 63.18 of the

Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.18 et seq., for the transfer

to Arrival of the international resale authority held by ACN.

       The proposed acquisition of the operating authority held by ACN will be accomplished

through a merger of the two applicants. Upon the consummation of the merger, Arrival will be

the survivor and ACN will cease to exist. Following the merger, all telecommunications

operations in which ACN previously was engaged will continue to be undertaken by Arrival.

Moreover, these operations will continue to be carried out by ACN‘s existing management

personnel and operating employees. The merger is being undertaken to facilitate the parties‘

entry into the domestic advanced services market and will not affect any international operations.

Consequently, this application is non—controversial and should be granted on a streamlined basis.
