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.
