Resale Authority under Section 63.18(e) of the FCC’s rules: ICTC (IBFS File No. ITC-
20000731-00443); and Inland Long Distance Company (ITC-214-20000320-00142).

Neither Nathan R. Weis, the Weis Children Trust, nor the beneficiaries and trustee of the Weis

       Answer To Question 13 – Description of Transfer of Control and Public Interest

        Inland Cellular Telephone Company (“ICTC”), a Washington corporation, is the holder
of an international Section 214 authorization under IBFS File No. ITC-20000731-00443. The
existing shareholders of ICTC have entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which
ICTC will buy back the shares held by all stockholders other than by Nathan R. Weis (“Weis”)
and the Weis Children Trust (which holds shares of ICTC for the benefit of Weis’ children).
Following receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other contractual
conditions, ICTC will repurchase those shares, and the only shares of ICTC that will remain
issued and outstanding will be held by Nathan R. Weis (69%) and the Weis Children Trust
(31%). As a result of this transaction, Nathan R. Weis for the first time will have a controlling
interest in ICTC.

        ICTC is the parent corporation of Inland Cellular LLC, a U.S. limited liability company
(“ICL”), which does business as Inland Cellular. ICL is a small wireless provider providing
quality local cellular service since 1990 in the states of Washington and Idaho. From the
beginning, its goal has been to provide customers with the friendliest, most complete customer
service in the area while providing local cellular service that is second to none.

        Transferee Nathan R. Weis has had a non-controlling interest in ICTC for 25 years and
has been actively involved in the growth and operation of the cellular business. He is thus well
qualified to acquire a controlling interest in ICTC and its international Section 214 authorization.

       Answer To Question 20 – Section 63.12

The Applicants request, and are eligible for, streamlined processing of the Application. Neither
the Section 214 holder ICTC nor Transferee Nathan R. Weis is affiliated with a foreign carrier;
nor is there an affiliation with a dominant U.S. carrier whose international switched or private
line services will be resold. See Sections 63.12(c) and 63.18(p) of the FCC’s rules.


                                           Conclusion

       For the reasons stated above, Applicants respectfully submit that the public interest,
convenience, and necessity would be furthered by a grant of this Application for the above-
described transaction. Applicants respectfully request streamlined processing to permit the
Applicants to complete the transaction as soon as possible.
