Outside of Cznada, BCE has indirect investments in affiliates that develop and operate telecommunications systems in various markets, primarily in Latin America and the Asia—Pacific region, with a focus on the wireless sector. BCE‘s U.S. investments include the 23% ownership of Teleglobe Inc. by Bell * BCE has a significant ownership in Nortel Networks, but has announced that it will spin off that interest to its shareholders. sf—848763 4

Thus, SBC is not an "affiliate" of Teleglobe Inc. under Section 3(1) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 153(1). As a result of the proposed transaction, Bell Canada‘s attributable ownership interest in Teleglobe Inc. will be reduced to less than 20%, thereby diminishing SBC‘s indirect ownership interest Teleglobe to less than 4%. ° Stratos Global Corporation owns or controls Section 214 and Title III licensees in the United States.

Moreover, none of these affiliated carriers has the ability to discriminate against unaffiliated U.S. international carriers through the control of bottleneck services or facilities in any }destination country.

respective routes to affect competition adversely in the U.S. market. On the U.S.—Canada route, BCE azscept:. that he Teleglobe Apjplicar ts, up n FC C ap; roval and consur imation of the proposed transfer of cor trol to BCE, will be sujject o dor iinan carmir reg ilatio:n and file the quarterly tra ffic reports equiied by Secti on 43 61(c) of the: Com missi>n‘s P ules (recognizin; the Applicants‘ ight to petizion for reclassifi :atior at a l ater d ite).

Moreover, none of these affili ited c arrier ; has he ability to disci imingte agiiinst unaffiliated 1J.S. interna 10nal carriers through he ccntrol »f bottleneck sem ices cr facilities n any deitination cointry. Accordingly, al| such affili; ted fireign carriers are presi med :o lac‘i: sufficient m; rket ;gower on th:: foreign en 4 of tlieir re spect ve ro ites to affect com petitin adversely in the U S. mirket, ind therefo:e the Teleg lobe . ipplicants, ipon °CC spproval and consummation of the proposed transfer 0: contiol to 3CE, shoul 1 presumptively be classifiec as nondominan on all suct international routes.

(n) By Paragraph (3) of the attached certification, BCE certifies that neither BCE nor any of its operating subsidiaries has agreed to accept special concessions, directly or indirectly from any foreign carrier 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 or will enter into such agreements in the future. sf—848763 11

(0) By Paragraph (4) of the attached certification, BCE certifies that no party to this application is subject to a denial of federal benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti—Dn g Abuse Act of 1988. (p) The Applicants seek streamlined processing of this application under Section 63.12 of the Commission‘s Rules because (1) BCE qualifies for a presumption of non—domir ance under Section 63.10(a)(3) of the Commission‘s Rules for the Colombian, Mexican, Indian, Venezuelan, and Brazilian routes; and (2) the Applicants agree to be classified as dominant on the U.S.—Canada route (recognizing the Applicants‘ right to petition for reclassification at a liter date). sf—848763 12
