         SECOND SUPPLEMENT
        In the Matter of the Application of Global Internetworking, Inc. and 20/20
        Technologies, Inc., For Grant of Authority Pursuant to Section 214 of the
        Communications Act of 1934 and Sections 63.04, 16.18 and 63.24 of the
        Commission‘s Rules to Complete a Transfer of Control of Authorized International
        and Domestic Interstate Carrier

 Dear Ms. Dortch:

        Global Internetworking, Inc. ("Global Internetworking") and 20/20 Technologies, Inc.
 ("20/20") (collectively, the "Applicants"), hereby respond to informal inquiries from Staff and
 provide information related to the existing ownership of 20/20.

         Currently, 20/20 is a widely held entity which has no majority owner. No foreign entity
 owns or controls more than 10 percent of 20/20. Specifically, the sole entity that owns 10
 percent or more of 20/20 is Computer Network Technology Corporation ("CNT") which
 currently holds approximately 11 percent of the company. Applicants understand that CNT
 recently became a direct, wholly—owned subsidiary of McDATA Corporation, a widely held
 company publicly traded on the NASDAQ. Applicants understand that the ownership structure
 of McDATA was considered by the Commission in connection with the MeDATA/CNT
 transaction (See WC Docket No. 05—41). A copy of the application filed in that matter is
 provided as Exhibit A. Applicants anticipate that following the proposed transactions, neither
 CNT, nor any other entity will hold a 10 percent or greater direct or indirect interest in Global
 Internetworking.

 authorization and will continue to provide services to its customers. Additional information on

 CNT is available on the company‘s website at: http://www.cnt.com and is incorporated herein

         B.     McDATA Corporation ("McDATA")

Crescent, Bloomfield, Colorado 80021. McDATA is publicly traded on the Nasdaq National

any of its      subsidiaries currently have    any licenses relating to the provision of

telecommunications services. McDATA‘s revenue from the twelve months ending January 31,

2004 was $418.9 million and for the quarter ending October 31, 2005 was $98.5 million.

Attached as Exhibit B are the most recent 10—K and 10—Q of McDATA that demonstrate that

McDATA is financially qualified to acquire control of CNT. Also attached as Exhibit C are the

management biographies of McDATA‘s key operational personal that demonstrate McDATA‘s

managerial qualifications to acquire control of CNT. Additional information on McDATA is

available on the company‘s website at: http://www.medata.com.

         In order to effect the merger, McDATA has created Condor Acquisition, Inc. ("Condor")

as a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary that was established to effect the merger of CNT.

Condor is a Minnesota corporation with its principal offices located at 380 Interlocken Crescent,

Broomfield, Colorado 80021. Condor is not suthorized to provide telecommunication services in

any state.


HL      DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTIONS

        Applicants have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of January 17,

2005 (" Merger Agreement")‘ through which (1) Condor will be merged with and iino CNT

whereupon the separate existence of Condor shall cease and CNT will be the surviving

corporation (" Surviving Corporation") and (2) outstanding shares of CNT will be :!.onvcned

into the right to receive 1.3 shares of McDATA Class A Common Stock plus cash in lieu of

franctional shares and the Surviving Corporation will become a wholly owned subs‘diary of

McDATA.         Upon completion of the transaction, current McDATA and CNT stockholders

will own approximately 76% and 24%, respectively, of McDATA. In light of the structure of

the proposed Transaction,     Applicants seek approval for the transfer of control of CNT to

McDATA. Attached as Exhibit A is an illustrative chart describing the proposed Transaction.

       Following the consummation of the Transaction, CNT‘ s customers will continue to

receive service under the same rates, terms and conditions of service as before. CNT will

become a wholly owned subsidiary of McDATA, will continue to operate and provide services

to CNT‘ s customers and will retain the assets used in the provisions of those services. As a

result, the Transaction will be virtually transparent to CNT‘ s customers in terms of the services

they receive.



IV.    PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT

       Applicants respecifully submit that the proposed Transaction serves the public interest.

In particular, Applicants submit that (1) the Transaction will increase competition in the

telecommunications market by reinforcing the status of CNT as a viable competitor and (2) the


Transaction will minimize the disruption of service and be virtually transparent to CNT‘ s °

customers.

       The proposed Transaction is expected to facilitate competition by improving the

operational position of both CNT and McDATA.                   The combination of CNT‘s    and

McDATA‘s complementary products and services will provide customers with the long—term

confidence that their strategic requirements for a storage networking infrastructure needed for

increased productivity, business continuity and regulatory compliance will be met.

Moreover, given that the Transaction will not affect CNT‘ s rates, terms and conditions of

services, the Transaction will have no negative effects on customers.
