international Section 214 authorization, from IPC Commut             ns, Inc. to Global Crossing Ltd.

transparent to IEXN‘s c         ers. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a chart that illustrates the

        respect to any U.S. international route where the foreign carrier possesses sufficient

       (p)     Global Crossing Requests streamlined processing of this application pursuant to
               Section 63.12 of the Commission‘s Rules. Except as set forth in Sections (i) and (j)
               above, Global Crossing is not affiliated with a foreign carrier in any destination
               market that it intends to serve. Global Crossing is presumptively considered non—
               dominant for the provision of international telecommunications services to all
               countries except those countries in which Global Crossing has affiliates. 47 C.F.R.
               § 63.10(a)(1). Moreover, with respect to those countries where it has affiliates,
               Global Crossing qualifies for a presumption of non—dominance under Section
               63.10(a)(3) of the Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.10(a)(3). Each of Global
               Crossing‘s affiliates and subsidiaries are located in a WTO Member Country. All of
               Global Crossing‘s foreign affiliates have substantially less than a 50 percent share of
               the international transport and local access markets in their respective countries, and
               thus they lack the market power to discriminate against unaffiliated U.S. carriers
               through control of bottleneck services or facilities in the destination country or
               otherwise to affect competition adversely in the U.S. market. Finally, Global
               Crossing is not affiliated with a dominant U.S. carrier whose international switched
               or private line services it seeks to resell. Accordingly, this Joint Application is
               eligible for streamlined processing for every destination market it intends to serve."
