In the Matter of

CHOICE ONE COMMUNICATIONS, INC.,

US XCHANGE, INC.

Application for Authority to Transfer
Control of International Authority Pursuant
to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934.



                                        APPLICATION


         Choice One Communications, Inc. ("Choice One") and US Xchange Inc. ("US

Xchange") (collectively, "Applicants"), by their undersigned counsel, hereby request approval,

pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 214, and

Section 63.18 of the Commussion‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.18, of a transaction whereby Choice

One will acquire ownership and control of US Xchange, a non—dominant carrier holding Section

214 authorization to provide international telecommunications services on a facilities—based

and/or resold basis. Applicants respectfully request streamlined treatment of this Application in

order to permit them to consummate the proposed transaction within 30 days from the date of

this filing.


       In support of this Application, Applicants submit the following information:

3.     DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION

       Choice One and US Xchange have determined that they will realize significant economic

and marketing efficiencies by establishing US Xchange as a wholly—owned subsidiary of Choice

One. Accordingly, they have reached an agreement to transfer control of US Xchange to Choice

One. The proposed transaction is structured as a sale of 100% of the issued and outstanding

common stock of US Xchange to Choice One.

       Although the proposed transaction will transfer ownership and control of US Xchange to

Choice One, it will not involve a change in the manner in which US Xchange provides service to

its international customers. Immediately following the transaction, US Xchange will continue to

provide high quality telecommunications services to its customers pursuant to its authorization

granted by the Commission, with no change in the rates or terms and conditions of service

currently enjoyed by its existing customers. The transfer of control, therefore, will be virtually

transparent to US Xchange‘s customers in terms of the international services they receive.
