                  INTERNATIONAL SECTION 214 AUTHORIZATIONS

        Pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (“the Act”), 47
U.S.C. § 214, and Section 63.24(f) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.24(f), Deutsche

international Section 214 authorizations held by T-Mobile USA, Inc., T-Mobile Puerto Rico
LLC, and Iowa Wireless Services Holding Corporation.1


Answer to Question 10 - Section 63.18(c)-(d):

this transaction, DT has been designated as both the transferor and the transferee for the instant
pro forma transfer of control filings.

       Question 3 on FCC Form 214TC requires a date of consummation for a notification of a
pro forma transfer of control. Because the transaction has not closed, Applicants are not able to
provide the actual date of consummation, but were nevertheless required to fill something in.
Applicants have publicly stated that they hope to close the transaction in the first half of 2013.

                                                 1


                                                                       International Section 214

                                                                                   Attachment 1


       International Section 214 Authority:

        DT does not hold any international Section 214 authorizations. DT indirectly wholly
owns and controls T-Mobile USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and T-Mobile Puerto Rico LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company, and has an indirect 53.6 percent equity interest in Iowa
Wireless Services Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation. T-Mobile USA, Inc. holds
three international Section 214 authorizations, File Nos. ITC-214-20061004-00452 (global resale
service), ITC-214-19960930-00473 (global resale service), and ITC-214-20120301-00067
(global resale service). T-Mobile Puerto Rico LLC holds one international Section 214
authorization, File No. ITC-214-20070626-00246 (global resale service). Iowa Wireless
Services Holding Corporation holds one international Section 214 authorization, File No. ITC-
214-20020513-00251 (global resale service). In addition, DT (through its T-Systems North
America, Inc. subsidiary) controls two other international Section 214 authorizations: ITC-214-
20020927-00514 (global facilities-based and resale services) and ITC-214-20040920-00370
(global facilities-based and resale services).2


Answer to Question 11 - Section 63.18(h):

       The following entities hold a ten percent or greater ownership interest in DT:

       Name:               Kreditanstalt fur Wiederaufbau (“KfW”)
       Address:            Palmengartenstrasse 5-9
                           Frankfort, Germany 60325
       Citizenship:        Germany
       Principal Business: Commercial banking
       Percentage Held:    KfW, a bank controlled by the German government and federal
                           states, holds approximately 17 percent of the ownership interests of
                           DT.

       Name:               Federal Republic of Germany (“FRG”)
       Address:            c/o Federal Ministry of Finance
                           Wilhelmstr 97
                           Berlin, Germany 10117
       Citizenship:        Germany
       Principal Business: Government entity
       Percentage Held:    FRG directly holds approximately 15 percent of the ownership
                           interests of DT. FRG also directly holds approximately 80 percent
                           of the ownership interests in KfW which, as described above, holds
                           approximately 17.02 percent of the ownership interests in DT.
                           Thus, FRG is deemed to hold approximately 32 percent of DT.
