Outside of Ca r1ada, 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

Canada — which, in turn, is owned 80%by BCE and 20% by SBC Communications Inc." Subject to FCC approval, BCE also will acquire a 53% interest in Aliant Inc., which in turn, holds a 65%interest in Stratos Global Corporation.© II. The Proposed Transaction Will Serve the Public Interest Currently, Bell Canada (80% owned by BCE) holds 23% of the stock of Teleglobe Inc. On February 15, 2000, BCE announcedits intention to acquire the other 77% of Teleglobe Inc.‘s common shares through a tender offer to be made to Teleglobe Inc.‘s shareholders other than Bell Canada. Although the process of merger has not been finalized, the Applicants expect that BCE will implement the acquisition by way of a Plan of Arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, each Teleglobe Inc. common share (other than those currently held by Bell Canada) will be transferred to BCE at the effective date of the Plan of Arrangement ("Effective Date") in exchange for a fraction (between 0.85 and 0.97, to be determined based on the trading price of the BCE common share for a determined period prior to the Effective Date) of a BCE common share. The Effective Date will occur on a date, selectedby the parties, after (1) Teleglobe Inc. and BCE have received all necessary regulatory approvals to consummate the acquisition; and (2) the shareholders of Teleglobe Inc. have approved the Plan of Arrangement, which Effective Date is expected to occur before the end of the year. > SBC holds no ownership interest in BCE, and its indirect ownership of Teleglobe Inc. is approximately 4.6 percent. 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. BCE currently has applications pending before the FCC (File Nos. SES—T/C—20000110—00034, SES—T/C—20000110— 00035, and ITC—T/C—20000110—00024) for approval of BCE‘s acquisition of control of Aliant Inc. sf—848763 5

The proposed transaction will serve the U.S. public interest in promoting competition by permitting Teleglobe and BCE to strengthen their competitive positions through combining their financial resources and complementary services, facilities, and expertise. Specifically, the proposed merger will permit Teleglobe and BCE to realize significant economic, marketing, and technical service efficiencies that will enhance Teleglobe‘s ability to provide high—quality, low— cost, competitive telecommunications and Internet services and to accelerate deployment of Teleglobe‘s Globesystem broadband network. Teleglobe and BCE also will benefit significantly from the substantial managerial, technical, andfinancial expertise of the combined company‘s management and operations teams. The combined company will offer a full range of services and will provide increased choice to consumers for competitively priced international telecommunications and Internet services. Moreover, the proposed transaction will accelerate competition in both the U.S. domestic and intematiorial markets without any significant increase in market concentration. The Teleglobe Applicants provide Internet and long distance services (as well as local and wireless services via resale) to customers in the United States. BCE, on the other hand, provides a wide array of communications services in Canada. BCE‘s market share of telecommunications services in the United States is insignificant. Neither Teleglobe nor BCE controls any bottleneck facilities in the United States or has market powerin any U.S. market sector. Consequently, the proposed merger will enhance competition, increase consumer choices, and stimulate service and technological innovations without causing any undue concentration in any one market segment. sf—848763 6

(g) Not applicable. (h) BCE is a publicly held Canadian corporation. There are no shareholders of BCE who directlyor indirectly own 10 percent or more ofthe equity of BCE. Jean Monty, who serves as Chairman and CEO of BCE, also is Chairman of the board ofdirectors of Teleglobe Inc., the ultimate parent company of various foreign carriers. (i) By Paragraph (1) of the attachedcertification, BCE certifies that it is affiliated with various foreign carriers in Canada, Colombia, India, Mexico, Venezuela, and Brazil, as identified in Exhibit C. ()) By Paragraph (2) of the attached certification, BCE certifies that it seeks, upon acquisition of Teleglobe, to provide international telecommunications services to destination countries in which BCE controls or is affiliated with a foreign carrier as those terms are defined in the Commussion‘s rules (including Canada, Colombia, India, Mexico, Venezuela, and Brazil), as specified in Exhibit C. (k) Canada, Colombia, India, Mexico, Venezuela, and Brazil all are members of the World Trade Organization ("WTO"). (1) On routes where BCE is affiliated with a foreign carrier in Colombia, India, Mexico, Venezuela, and Brazil, the affiliated foreign carrier satisfies the requirements of Section 63.10(a)(3) of the Commission‘s Rules. 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. Accordingly, all such affiliated foreign carriers are presumed to lack sufficient market power on the foreign end of their ® Natco is not currently operating or providing service. sf—848763 10

respective routes to affect competition adversely in the U.S. market. On the U.S.—Canada route, BCE accepts that the Teleglobe Applicants, upon FCC approval and consummation of the proposed transfer of control to BCE, will be subject to dominant carrier regulation and file the quarterly traffic reports required by Section 43.61(c) of the Commission‘s Rules (recognizing the Applicants‘ right to petition for reclassification at a later date). (m) As stated in Subsection (1) above, each BCE affiliated foreign carrier in Colombia, India, Mexico, Venezuela, and Brazil 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. Accordingly, all such affiliated foreign carriers are presumed to lack sufficient market power on the foreign end of their respective routes to affect competition adversely in fhé U.S. market, and therefore the Teleglobe Applicants, upon FCC approval and consummation of the proposed transfer of control to BCE, should presumptively be classified as nondominant on all such international routes. BCE agrees that the Teleglobe Applicants, upon FCC approval and consummation of the proposed transfer of control to BCE, will be subject to dominant carrier regulation on the U.S.—Canada route (recognizing the Applicants‘ right to petition for reclassification at a later date). (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—Dr ig Abuse Act of 1988. (p) The Applicants seek streamlined processing of this application under Sectior 63.12 of the Commission‘s Rules because (1) BCE qualifies for a presumption of non—domi iance under Section 63.10(a)(3) of the Commiussion‘s Rules for the Colombian, Mexican, Indian, Venezuelan, and Brazilian routes; and (2) the Applicants agree to be classified as dominant n the U.S.—Canada route (recognizing the Applicants‘ right to petition for reclassification at a ater date). sf—848763 12
