Specifically, each such affiliated foreign carrier holds significantly less than a 50 percent market share in the international transport and local access markets in its respective country of operation. 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.

Moreover, none of these affili ited c arrier; has the ab lity to discriminite ag:inst unaffil ated |J.S. interna:ional carriers through he control of bottleneck services ¢r faci ities :n any de:itination co intry. Accordingly, all such affiliited foreign carri¢rs are presi med to lack: sufficient mirket ; ower on th: foreign end of t ieir respectve ro ites to affect cor petition adversely in the U S. mirket, ind therefore the Teleglobe Aupplicants, ipon )°CC ipprovy al and consummation of the proposed transfer 0j‘ conti ol to 3CE, shoul 1 presumptively be classified as nondominan : on all suck interaational routes.
