                  INTERNATIONAL SECTION 214 AUTHORIZATION

rules of the pro forma transfer of control of an international Section 214 authorization from and
to subsidiaries controlled by AT&T Inc. (“AT&T”).1 Specifically, on March 31, 2015,
immediate ownership and control of Cricket Communications, LLC (“Cricket Communications”)
was transferred from Cricket, Inc. (“Cricket”) to Cricket Wireless LLC (“Cricket Wireless”).2

transfer of control was pro forma in nature.

Answer to Question 13

        This filing hereby notifies the Commission pursuant to Section 63.24(f) of its rules, 47
C.F.R. § 63.24(f), of the pro forma transfer of control of an international Section 214
authorization held by Cricket Communications, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T.
Specifically, on March 31, 2015, immediate ownership and control of Cricket Communications
was transferred from Cricket to Cricket Wireless. The restructuring does not change the ultimate
ownership or control of the international Section 214 authorization; AT&T continues to control
the authorization at issue.

        This restructuring does not change the ultimate ownership or control of the international
Section 214 authorization, as AT&T has continued to control it both before and after the
restructuring. Accordingly, this transfer of control is pro forma in nature. The Commission has
previously stated that “[r]egulatory review of [pro forma] transactions yields no significant
public interest benefits, but may delay or hinder transactions that could provide substantial
financial, operational, or administrative benefits for carriers.”4
