forma in nature. A diagram depicting the ownership of Elbac following completion of the
transactions described above is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

        Information concerning the foreign affiliations and 10% or greater shareholders of
360networks was previously submitted in File Nos. SCL—T/C—20000328—00010 and ITC—T/C—
20000328—00186. The same information is applicable to Elbac as a wholly—owned indirect subsidiary
of 36 O0networks. In addition,Elbac‘s immediate parent TBI Ltd. is licensed to provide international
telecommunications services between Bermuda and foreign points. However, TBI Ltd. lacks
sufficient market power in Bermuda to adversely affect competition in the U.S. market. Elbac also
confirms that it has no interlocking directorates with a foreign carrier.

        Anti—Drug Abuse Certification. Pursuant to Section 1.2001—1.2003 of the Commission‘s
rules, 47 C.E.R. §§ 1.2001—1.2003, I hereby certify that no party to this application is subject to a
denial of federal benefits that includes FCC benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti—Drug Abuse
Act, 21 U.S.C. § 862.

       Conclusion. Prompt consent by the Commission is in the public interest because the three pro
forma transactions will enable 360networks and GlobeNet to integrate their operations and operate
more efficiently. In turn, this will enhance the ability of 360networks and GlobeNet to offer state—of—
the—art fiber optic cable capacity to telecommunications carriers and end—users.

       Also enclosed are an FCC Form 159 and a check to cover the required filing fee. An original
