   Attention: International Bureau

   Dear Ms. Dortch:

                  Cypress Communications Operating Company, LLC ("Cypress"), by its attorney,
  hereby notifies the Commission of a pro forma transaction pursuant to Section 63.24(f) of the
  Commission‘s Rules. Cypress holds the international Section 214 authorization referenced
  above to operate as a global or limited global facilities—based and resale carrier. Effective
  September 6, 2010, the voting stock of TechInvest Holding Company, Inc. ("THC") that was
  previously held by Mr. Charles Ogburn ("Mr. Ogburn‘) was assigned to the only other holder of
  THC voting stock, Mr. Ransom James ("Mr. James"). THC is a parent company of Cypress. All
  THC voting stockholders are or were employees of Arcapita or its affiliates and act only at the
_ direction of Arcapita vis—a—vis their THC voting stock. As such, the assignment of Mr. Ogburn‘s
  THC voting stock to Mr. James constitutes at most an indirect proforma transfer of control of
  Cypress.
