With a copy to Counsel: Timothy E. Welch Hill & Welch 1025 Connecticut Ave., NW #1000 Washington, DC 20036 Telephone: 202-857-1470 Facsimile: 301-622-2864 welchlaw@earthlink.net Prior Section 214 Authority Borderland holds the subject International Section 214 authorization for global resale of switched services (File No. ITC-214-19980715-00486, granted September 3, 1998). Nsight controls an International Section 214 authorization for global resale of switched services granted to its wholly-owned subsidiary NET LEC, LLC (File No. ITC-214-19970207- 00070, granted March 21, 1997). Under Transfer of Control File No. ITC-T/C-20071024-00436 Nsight obtained authority to control the International Section 214 authorization for global resale of switched services initially granted to Baynet, Inc. (File No. ITC-214-19970403-00193, granted May 23, 1997). Answer to Question 11 The names, addresses, citizenship and principal businesses of the entities that own at least ten (10) percent of the equity of Transferee both prior to and subsequent to the proposed transaction are: Name & Address Equity % Voting% Citizenship Principal Business Patrick D. Riordan 14.98% 16.00% U.S.A. Telecommunications 450 Security Blvd. Green Bay, WI 54313 Robert H. Riordan 11.32% 12.10% U.S.A. Telecommunications 450 Security Blvd. Green Bay, WI 54313 Tailwind Capital Partners 13.64% 14.57% U.S.A Private Equity 485 Lexington Ave. New York, NY 10017 Family relationships: Patrick D. Riordan and Robert H. Riordan are siblings. The listed shareholders are shown with the total ownership and voting interests attributable to themselves Transfer of Control of Borderland Communications, LLC File No. ITC-214-19980715-00486

and to their immediate families (spouses and/or children). With the exception of Patrick D. Riordan, no single member of any of the families owns or votes a 10% or greater interest; Robert H. Riordan owns less than 10% as an individual. The indicated voting interests are slightly higher than the indicated equity interests because there is a small amount of non-voting stock which dilutes the equity % relative to the voting %. No other individual or entity directly or indirectly will own ten percent (10%) or more of the equity of Nsight prior to or subsequent to the proposed transaction. Answer to Question 13 The proposed transaction will be accomplished by a two-step merger process. Merger step one is the merger of a newly-formed Wisconsin corporation (Niagara Reverse Sub 1, Inc.) owned 100 percent by Nsight with and into Niagara, with Niagara continuing as the surviving corporation. The pre-merger step one shares and rights of Niagara will be canceled and extinguished, subject to various provisions for the payment of the merger consideration consisting of cash and Nsight stock to Niagara’s shareholders. Merger step two is the merger of the merger step one surviving corporation (Niagara) with and into Niagara Forward Sub 2, Inc., a second newly-formed Wisconsin corporation owned 100 percent by Nsight, whereby Niagara Forward Sub 2, Inc. will continue as the surviving company. The pre-merger step two shares and rights of the merger step one surviving corporation (Niagara) will be cancelled and extinguished. At the completion of the two-step merger all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Niagara Forward Sub 2, Inc., which owns all of the assets of Niagara, will be owned by Nsight. Control of Niagara Forward Sub 2, Inc. post-merger will give Nsight control over the blanket domestic Section 214 authorizations of Niagara and its wholly-owned subsidiary Borderland. Niagara Forward Sub 2, Inc. will change its name to Niagara Telephone Company. Answer to Questions 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 Neither Niagara nor Borderland nor Nsight: (a) is a foreign carrier; (b) controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with a foreign carrier; (c) is affiliated with a foreign Transfer of Control of Borderland Communications, LLC File No. ITC-214-19980715-00486

carrier; nor (d) will be affiliated with a foreign carrier upon consummation of the proposed transfer of control. Answer to Question 20 The Applicants qualify for streamlined processing pursuant to Section 63.12 of the Commission's Rules because: (a) neither Niagara nor Borderland nor Nsight is affiliated with any foreign carrier in any destination market; (b) neither Niagara nor Borderland nor Nsight is affiliated with any dominant U.S. carrier whose international switched or private line services Borderland seeks authority to resell; (c) neither Niagara nor Borderland nor Nsight seeks authority to provide switched basic services over private lines to any country and not to any country for which the Commission has not previously authorized the provision of switched services over private lines; and (d) neither Niagara nor Borderland nor Nsight has any reason to believe that the Commission will inform it in writing that this application is not eligible for streamlined processing.
