ATTACHMENT 1 Request for Further Extension of Special Temporary Authority On May 27, 2008, FLAG Telecom Group Services Limited ("FLAG"), Vanco Solutions, Inc. and Vanco US, LLC (together, "Vanco," and collectively with FLAG, the "Applicants") filed applications (the "Applications") seeking the Commission's consent to transfer control to FLAG of Vanco, which holds international Section 214 authorizations from the Commission (File Nos. ITC-214-20070703-00260 and ITC-214-20070703-00262, respectively) and blanket authority to provide domestic interstate services under Section 214 of the Act and Section 63.01(a) of the Commission's rules. Simultaneously with the filing of the Applications, the Applicants requested special temporary authority ("STA") in WC Docket No. 08-79 and IBFS File No. ITC-STA-20080527-00240 to transfer control of Vanco to FLAG pending full FCC review of the Applications for the reasons set forth in the request for such STA.

The Applicants have been informed that the Executive Branch agencies (collectively referred to as "Team Telecom") that are reviewing the Applications will not complete their review prior to August 25, 2008. The Applicants therefore respectfully request that the STA in 1BPS File No. ITC-STA-20080527-00240 be made coterminous with the STA in WC Docket No. 08-79 and extended for a period of 30 days, i.e., until September 24, 2008, so that such review may be completed.

Request for Special Tempotary Authorization Dear Sir or Madam: We represent FLAG Telecoiri Group Services Limited ("FLAG"), the parent of Reliance Globalcoin Services, Inc. (formerly Yipes Enterprise Services, Inc.) which holds an international Section 214 authorization from the Commission (File No. ITC-2T4- 20031104-00505) and blanket authority to provide domestic interstate services under Section 214 of the Act and Section 63.01(a) of the Commission's rules. FLAG is simultaneously filing applications seeking the Commission's consent to transfer control to FLAG of Vanco Solutions, Inc. and Vanco US, LLC (collectively, "Vanco")1which also hold international Section 214 authorizations from the Commission (File Nos. ITC-214- 20070703-00260 and ITC-21 4-20070703-00262, respectively) and blanket authority to provide domestic interstate services under Section 214 of the Act and Section 63.01 (a) of the Commission's rules. Vanco provides important telecommunications services through its virtual network to many domestic and multinational companies. Unfortunately, Vanco PLC, the indirect parent of Vanco, is almost out of cash and cannot draw any further on its bank credit facility. Vanco's CEO recently resigned. A restructuring expert was subsequently appointed to deal with Vanco PLC's financial crisis.. Vanco PLC ultimately became the subject of administratIon proceedings in the United Kingdom in which an administrator has been appointed to manage the cqmpany's affairs, business, and property for the benefit of its creditors (similar, to a bankruptcy trustee in the United States). The administrator has approved FLAG's bid for Vanco, and in light of the distressed state of the company, the parties thut now proceed to close the proposed acquisition inrinediately in order to avoid insolvency and immediate cessation of services to Vanco's customers.
