                      OF SECTION 214 AUTHORITY AND
                   FOREIGN CARRIER AFFILIATION NOTICES

              Pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934;, as amended,

47 U.S.C. § 214, and Section 63.18(e)(3) of the Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R.

§ 63.18(e)(3), AT&T Latin America Corp. ("AT&T Latin America") and FirstCom

Corporation ("FirstCom") (together "Applicants"), hereby request authorization to


 transfe     rol of the international Section 214 authorization held by FirstCom to a

 wholly      :d subsidiary of AT&T Latin America. Applicants also request streamlined

 proces:     E this application pursuant to Section 63.12(c) of the Commission‘s rules, 47

 CFR.        l12(c). Additionally, AT&T Corp. ("AT&T"), Concert Global Networks

 USA L       ("Concert USA") and Concert Global Network Services ("Concert Global")

give no      is required under Section 63.11(a) of the FCC‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.11(a),

of the a     ions with foreign carriers in Chile, Colombia and Peru that will result from

the proj      transaction.

               The proposed transaction will promote competition in Chile, Colombia

and Per      idding AT&T‘s brand and other resources to FirstCom‘s competitive

telecom      cations operations in those countries. The transaction will have no adverse

effect 0     ipetition in the U.S. market because FirstCom has held section 214 authority

only sin     98, provided no services in the U.S. market before November 1999, and

provide      ervices to U.S. end—users. Since November 1999, FirstCom‘s only activities

in the U     arket have been the provision of transit services for de minimis volumes of

traffic suu. uctween Chile and third countries and the provision of wholesale and resale

services for de minimis volumes of U.S.—Chile traffic.

II.     Description of the Transaction

             The transaction is governed by an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as

of November 1, 1999, (the "Merger Agreement"), between AT&T, FirstCom, Kiri, Inc.

(now renamed AT&T Latin America), an indirect majority—owned subsidiary of AT&T,

and Frantis, Inc. ("‘Frantis"), a direct wholly—owned subsidiary of AT&T Latin America.


    Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, FirstCom will be merged with and into Frantis (the

| "Merger"), with Frantis surviving.

                 In the Merger, the shareholders of FirstCom will receive, collectively,

    shares representing approximately 34 percent ofthe issued and outstanding capital stock

    of AT&TLatin America on a fully—diluted basis. The remaining capital stock of AT&T

    Latin America will be owneci by AT&T (approximately 60 percent) and SL Participacoes

    S.A., a holding company affiliate of a Brazilian construction and engineering company

    (approximately 6 percent).‘ AT&T Latin America‘s operating subsidiaries will provide

    state—of—the—art data and voice connectivity and a full range of business communications

    services in major Latin American countries.

III.       Section 63.18 Showing

                  Pursuant to Section 63.18(e) (3) of the FCC‘s rules, Applicants request

such Section 214 authority, or modification of existing authority, as may be appropriate

and necessary to implement the proposed Merger.

A.         Public Interest

                  The Commission‘s approval of the proposed transaction and grant of

authority pursuant to these sections will serve the public interest, convenience and

necessity by advancing the market—opening principles of the WTO Agreement on Basic



*         AT&T Latin America has announced that it has agreed to acquire Keytech LD
          S.A. ("‘Keytech"), a carrier in Argentina, and will shortly file a notification of this
          proposed foreign affiliation with the Commission. Following consummation of
          this proposed transaction, AT&T would hold approximately 58 percent of the
          stock of AT&T Latin America and the shareholders of Keytech would hold
          approximately 1 percent. The shareholders of FirstCom would continue to hold
          approximately 34 percent and SL Participacoes S.A. would continue to hold
          approximately 6 percent.


 Telecommunicatic        d promoting competition in Chile, Colombia and Peru, where

 FirstCom‘s affiliat      engaged in competitive telecommunications operations, and thus

 reducing the mark:      rer of the dominant incumbent carriers in those countries.

 FirstCom‘s affiliat     ~hile (FirstCom Networks, S.A., FirstCom Wireless, S.A., First

 Com Long Distanc        .. and FirstCom Telephony, S.A.), Colombia (FirstCom

 Colombia, S.A.) at      u (FirstCom, S.A.) have established advanced IP—based networks

and operations in f      yjor economic centers in those countries. The Merger will

strengthen these ne      npetitors by providing AT&T‘s brand and other resources to

enhance their deliv      ‘advanced communications services to customers across South

America‘s busines:       »rs.   The Merger will also benefit U.S. customers by promoting

increased competit:      )st—based pricing and improved quality of service at the foreign—

end of the U.S.—Chi      S$.—Colombia and U.S.—Peru routes.

               The       ised transaction furthers FCC and other U.S. government policies

promoting active p{      ation by U.S. companies in Latin American telecommunications

markets and promo        > marketing—opening principles of the WTO Agreement, which

plays a key role in the Commission‘s regulation of telecommunications in the public

interest. See Market Entry and Regulation of Foreign—Affiliated Entities, 11 FCC Red.

3873 (1995), [ 105—106 (noting that investment by U.S. carriers in foreign carriers

benefits domestic consumers, fosters liberalization, and is consistent with the long—

standing policy favoring investment abroad).

               The Merger will have no adverse effects on competition in the U.S.

market. FirstCom obtained Section 214 authority only in 1998, provided no services in

the U.S. market before November 1999, and has provided no services to U.S. end—users.


 Since November 1999, FirstCom‘s only activities in the U.S. market have been the

 provision of transit services for de minimis volumes of traffic sent between Chile and

 third countries and the provision of wholesale and resale services for de minimis volumes

 of U.S.—Chile traffic. Just as the transaction will have no negative effect on competition

 in the U.S. international market, it will create no bottlenecks and confer no market power

on any affiliate in Chile, Colombia and Peru. To the contrary, the Merger will stimulate

competition and reduce the market power of incumbent carriers in those countries by

strengthening the competitive position of FirstCom‘s affiliates.

B.      Impact on Non—Dominant Status

               As a result of the proposed transaction, AT&T Latin America should be

regulated as non—dominant, and AT&T, Concert USA and Concert Global should

continue to be regulated as non—dominant, on all international routes, including the U.S.—

Chile, U.S.—Colombia and U.S.—Peru routes.

               FirstCom‘s affiliates provide the following services:

                In Chile, FirstCom Networks, S.A., FirstCom Wireless, S.A., First Com

Long Distance, S.A., and FirstCom Telephony, S.A. operate as one functional entity and

provide public switched local and domestic and international long distance services,

domestic private line services, internet access and other value—added services.

               In Peru, FirstCom, S.A. has provided public switched international

services since August 1999, is authorized to provide public switched local and long—

distance services, and also provides domestic private line services.

               In Colombia, FirstCom Colombia has provided domestic private line

services since February 1999.


                None of FirstCom‘s affiliates in Chile, Colombia and Peru own or control

 bottleneck facilities, have market shares above 50 percent in the international transport or

 local access markets in their home countries or possess any market power. Therefore,

 FirstCom qualifies for a presumption of non—dominance and is regulated as non—dominant

 on those U.S. routes. See InterAmericas Communications Corp., ITC—98—612 (rel. Aug.

21, 1998); Letter dated Oct. 1, 1999 to Ms. Magalie Roman Salas, Secretary, Federal

Communications Commission, from Robert E. Conn Esq., Attorney for FirstCom

(advising Commission of change of name to FirstCom Corporation); Letter dated Nov.

30, 1999 to Ms. Magalie Roman Salas, Secretary, Federal Communications Commission,

from Robert E. Conn Esq., Attorney for FirstCom, File No. FCN—NEW—19991130—00052

(Section 63.11 Notification).

               Pursuant to the same presumption, AT&T Latin America should be

regulated as non—dominant on all routes, and AT&T, Concert USA and Concert Global

should continue to be regulated as non—dominant on these three routes. AT&T has no

affiliates in Colombia and Peru, and combining the market share in Chile of the current

affiliate of AT&T, Concert USA and Concert Global, VLT Chile S.A., with those of their

proposed new Chilean affiliates, FirstCom Networks, S.A., FirstCom Wireless, S.A.,

FirstCom Long Distance, S.A., and FirstCom Telephony, S.A., will result in total market

shares still well below 50 percent in the international transport and local access markets

in that country. Therefore, AT&T Latin America will qualify, and AT&T, Concert USA

and Concert Global will continue to qualify, for a presumption of non—dominance on

these three routes pursuant to Section 63.10(a)(3) of the Commission‘s rules.


 C.     Streamlined Processing

                Applicants request streamlined processing of this Application pursuant to

 Section 63.12 of the Commission‘s rules. As demonstrated in Part IIL.B of this

 Application, Applicants qualify for a presumption of non—dominance on all routes.

 Consequently, streamlined processing is not barred by the restrictions of Section 63.12(c).

D.      Other Required Information

                Thespecific responses to the provisions of Sections 63.18 are set forth in

Attachment A.

IV.     Notification of Foreign Affiliations

                AT&T and its controlled affiliates Concert USA and Concert Global also

give notice, as required under section 63.11(a) of the FCC‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.11(a),

of the affiliations with the following foreign carriers that may result from the proposed

transactions: FirstCom Networks, S.A., FirstCom Wireless, S.A., FirstCom Long

Distance, S.A., and FirstCom Telephony, S.A., all located in Chile; FirstCom Colombia,

S.A., located in Colombia; and FirstCom, S.A., located in Peru.

                AT&T, Concert USA and Concert Global also request that the 60—day

waiting period of Section 63.11(a) be waived. The purpose of the 60 day waiting period

is to provide the Commission the opportunity to require the filing of a Section 63.18

application prior to consummation of a transaction if it determines that "the investment

raises a substantial and material question of fact as to whether the investment serves the

public interest, convenience and necessity." 47 C.F.R. § 63.11(e)(2). No waiting period

is necessary here because Applicants have filed the above—captioned Application for

Section 214 authority describing the proposed investments and transaction.


v.     Conclusion

               Accordingly, Applicants respectfully request that the Commission

expeditiously grant this Section 214 application, and accept this notification filed by

AT&T, Concert USA and Concert Global, without further action.

                                              Respectfully submitted,
