AND AMERITECH MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS, INC. Pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 214, and Section 63.18 of the Rules of the Federal Communications Commission (“Commissién”), 47 C.F.R. § 63.18, Ameritech Communications, Inc. ("ACI"), Ameritech Mobile Communications, Inc. ("Ameritech Mobile"), Ameritech Corporation ("Ameritech") and SBC Communications Inc. ("SBC" or "Transferee") (collectively, "Applicants"), hereby apply for approval of the transfer of control to SBC of the international section 214 authorizations held by ACI and Ameritech Mobile, both of which are wholly owned subsidiaries of Ameritech. In support of this application, the Applicants submit the following information.

1. INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE PARTIES AND TRANSACTION The Applicants are filing this Applicationto request the Commission to approve the transfer of control of the international section 214 authorizations held by two Ameritech subsidiaries, ACI and Ameritech Mobile, which will result from the proposed merger of SBC and Ameritech. Applicants, the transaction into which they propose to enter, and the international section 214 authorizations that are the subject of this application are summarized below. The parties are also submitting herewith as Exhibit 1 a detailed narrative describing the parties, the transaction and the reasons why the merger serves the public interest, convenience and necessity. A. TheParties Ameritech‘s businesses consist pdnxarily of the provision of local exchange and wireless service through it:é operating subsidiaries. Ameritech also is engaged in the provision of cable television service and security monitoring. In addition, Ameritech provides facilities—based and resold international communications services through two ofits subsidiaries, ACI and Ameritech Mobile. ACI presently holds three international section 214 authorizations which allow it to resell international switched, private line and non— interconnected private line communications services and to provide international facilities— based switched, private line and data services originating outside the states in which Ameritech provides local exchange service. Ameritech Mobile holds one international section 214 authorization, which grants it the authority to resell international switched service. Ameritech also has a number of international interests, including investments in telecommunications companies in Belgium, Denmark and Hungary. t

SBC‘s principal businesses consist of local exchange, wireless and directory publishing services provided by operating subsidiaries of SBC. SBC also has a number of international interests, including investments in companies that offer telecommunications services in Mexico, France, the United Kingdom, Chile, South Africa, Israel, South Korea, Taiwan and Switzerland. Only those investments in Chile, South Africa and Switzerland, however, rise to the level of a foreign affiliation under the Commission‘s international section 214 regulations. See 47 C.F.R. § 63.18(h)(1)(1) (1998). SBC‘s subsidiaries hold a number ofinternational section 214 authorizations, which are described more fully below. B. TheTransaction SBC and Ameritech have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Plan") under which Ameritech would become a wholly—owned subsidiary of SBC. Following the merger, Ameritech will continue to own the stock of its subsidiaries, including ACI and Ameritech Mobile, which will continue to hold all of the Commission authorizations they currently hold. The proposed merger is described in detail in Exhibit 1. 1. PUBLIC INTEREST CONSIDERATIONS For the reasons set forth in Exhibit 1, the Applicants believe that the proposed transfer of control will serve the public interest, convenience and necessity. The transfer of control of the international section 214 authorizations held by ACI and Ameritech Mobile is incidental to the merger. As set out in Exhibit 1, however, it is clear that SBC is highly qualified to be in ultimate control—of these authorizations and that there will be no anticompetitive effects stemming from the transfer of control of the international section 214 authorizations.

Because the proposed transfer of control is in the public interest, convenience and necessity and otherwise complies with applicable law and regulations, the Applicants respectfully request the Commission to grant this Application. III. OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED PURSUANT TO SECTION 63.18 OF THE COMMISSION‘S RULES The Applicants provide the following information in compliance with subsections (a) through (k) of Section 63.18 of the Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 63.18(a)—(k) (1998), and in support of the Applicants‘ request.
