                                        ATTACHMENT 1



I.     DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION

       This notice relates to a pro forma transfer of control of StarHub, Inc. (“StarHub”), a

United States corporation that is dormant and that does not currently provide any

telecommunications services (and that does not provide any service in the United States).

StarHub is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of StarHub Ltd, which prior to December 11, 2006

was a direct subsidiary of STT Communications Ltd (“STT Communications”). On December

11, 2006, in connection with an internal restructuring, STT Communications transferred its direct

interest in StarHub Ltd to an indirect subsidiary, Asia Mobile Holdings Pte. Ltd. (“AMH”);

AMH is a direct subsidiary of Asia Mobile Holding Company Pte. Ltd. (“AMHC”), which in

turn is a direct subsidiary of STT Communications. This internal restructuring did not affect the

ownership of STT Communications, which was and remains a direct subsidiary of Singapore

Technologies Telemedia Pte Ltd (“ST Telemedia”) and an indirect subsidiary of Temasek

Holdings (Private) Limited (“Temasek”). Thus, Temasek continues to have ultimate control of

StarHub and its international 214 licenses (File Nos. ITC-214-20000731-00473 and ITC-214-

20000731-00474). Accordingly, the transaction resulted in the pro forma transfer of control of

StarHub from STT Communications to AMH. See 47 C.F.R. § 63.24(d) (“Transfers of control or

assignments that do not result in a change in the actual controlling party are considered non-

substantial or pro forma.”); id., Note 2 (stating that a “transfer from a corporation to a wholly

owned direct or indirect subsidiary thereof” and a “[c]orporate reorganization that involves no

substantial change in the beneficial ownership of the corporation” are presumptively pro forma).

Organizational charts depicting the relevant corporate structure before and after the transaction

are attached.


       Although the transaction was effective in December 2006, StarHub inadvertently failed to

notify the Commission of this pro forma transfer of control within 30 days pursuant to Section

63.24(f)(2) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.24(f)(2). StarHub discovered this

omission in the course of preparing a foreign carrier affiliation notice that arose from a recent,

unrelated transaction involving certain of StarHub’s affiliates (File No. FCN-NEW-20100203-

00001). The description of StarHub’s ownership in that foreign carrier affiliation notice is

consistent with that set forth herein. Upon discovering that no notice of this pro forma transfer

of control had been filed, StarHub proceeded to prepare this notification.1

II.    RESPONSES TO SPECIFIC QUESTIONS

       Answer to Question 10

       Per 47 C.F.R. § 63.18(c) of the Commission’s rules, correspondence concerning this pro

forma notification should be sent to the following:

       To StarHub:

               Veronica Lai
               Kong Pooi Foong
               StarHub, Inc.

               (65) 6825 5000




1
       STT Communications’s prior direct interest in StarHub Ltd, which is the subject of the
       instant pro forma transfer of control, was originally held by another indirect subsidiary of
       Temasek, TechPower Communications Pte Ltd (“TechPower”). TechPower transferred
       that interest to STT Communications in November 2000. Despite diligent review,
       StarHub has been unable to confirm whether a notice concerning that pro forma transfer
       of control was filed with the Commission. Accordingly, StarHub notes the prior pro
       forma transfer of control here out of prudence.


                                                  2

       Per 47 C.F.R. § 63.18(d) of the Commission’s rules, neither the transferor, STT

Communications, nor the transferee, AMH, have previously received authority under section 214

of the Act. StarHub has global facilities-based and resale authority pursuant to File Nos. ITC-

214-20000731-00473 and ITC-214-20000731-00474.
