ship and control of Onvoy in 2007. Following various pro forma reorganizations, Onvoy became

a direct subsidiary of CII in 2014.1 CII has no majority owner, but Exhibit A sets forth the

entities and individuals that currently own or control a ten percent (10%) or greater, direct or

indirect, interest in CII.

                      The following individuals are members of the board of managers of
                      GTCR Investment X LLC, are all U.S. citizens and can be reached
                      through GTCR Investment X LLC:

                                      Craig A. Bondy

       To the Transferee’s knowledge, no other person or entity, directly or indirectly, owns or
       controls a ten percent (10%) or greater interest in Licensees through Transferee.

       Except for Onvoy, ZEN and BV-LLC, which are each a non-dominant foreign carrier in

Canada, Transferee does not have any interlocking directorates with a foreign carrier. Specifical-

ly, Lawrence Fey is Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of Trans-

feree and is also on the Board of Managers of Onvoy, ZEN and BV-LLC.

       (i)     (Answer to Question 14) Transferee certifies that it is not a foreign carrier and is

not currently affiliated, within the meaning of Section 63.09(e) of the Commission’s rules, 47

C.F.R. § 63.09(e), with any foreign carrier. Upon completion of the Transaction, Transferee will

be affiliated, within the meaning of Section 63.09(e) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. §

63.09(e), with the following non-dominant foreign carriers in Canada:

               (a)    Onvoy, which holds a Reseller Registration;

               (b)    ZEN, which holds a Reseller Registration and Basic International Tele-
                      communications Services (“BITS”) License; and

               (c)    BV-LLC, which holds a Reseller Registration and BITS License.

       (j)     (Answer to Question 15) Transferee certifies that, through its acquisition of con-

trol of Licensees, Transferee does not seek to provide international telecommunications services

to any destination country where two or more foreign carriers (or parties that control foreign

carriers) own, in the aggregate, more than 25% of Transferee and are parties to, or the beneficiar-

                                                10


ies of, a contractual relation affecting the provision or marketing or international basic telecom-

munications services in the United States. However, upon completion of the Transactions,

Transferee will be affiliated with Onvoy, ZEN and BV-LLC, which are each a non-dominant

foreign carrier as described in (i) above.

       (k)     Transferee certifies that Canada is a Member of the World Trade Organization

(“WTO”). Onvoy, ZEN and BV-LLC are not on the Commission’s List of Foreign Telecommu-

nications Carriers that are Presumed to Possess Market Power in Foreign Telecommunications

Markets, released on January 26, 2007. In addition, each of these foreign carriers offers services

in competition with dominant foreign carriers and others.

       (m)     Transferee qualifies for a presumption of non-dominance under Section

63.10(a)(1) and (3) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.10(a)(1,3), because it is not a

foreign carrier and will be affiliated with non-dominant foreign carriers in a country that is a

Member of the WTO.

       (n)     Transferee and Licensees certify that they have not agreed to accept special con-

cessions, directly or indirectly, from any foreign carrier with respect to any U.S. international

route where the foreign carrier possesses market power on the foreign end of the route and will

not enter into such agreements in the future.

       (o)     Applicants certify that they are not subject to denial of federal benefits pursuant to

Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1998. See 21 U.S.C. § 853a; see also 47 C.F.R.

§§ 1.2001-1.2003.

       (p)     Applicants respectfully submit that this Application is eligible for streamlined

processing pursuant to Section 63.12(a)-(b) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.12(a)-(b).

Transferee qualifies for streamlined treatment under Section 63.12(c) because Transferee is not a




                                                11


foreign carrier itself and otherwise qualifies for a presumption of non-dominance under Section

63.10(a)(3) for the reasons detailed in response to paragraphs (k) and (m) above.


V.     INFORMATION REQUIRED BY SECTION 63.04

       Pursuant to Commission Rule 63.04(b), 47 C.F.R. § 63.04(b), Applicants submit the fol-

lowing information in support of their request for domestic Section 214 authority to transfer

control of Licensee to Onvoy in order to address the requirements set forth in Commission Rule

63.04(a)(6)-(12):

       (a)(6) A description of the proposed Transactions is set forth in Section III above.

       (a)(7) (i)      Onvoy provides or is authorized to provide competitive local exchange

and/or interexchange telecommunications services in the District of Columbia and in every U.S.

state except Alaska, Arkansas (pending application), Hawaii, Mississippi, Tennessee and Ver-

mont (pending application). ZEN provides telecommunications services in Colorado, Idaho,

Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Tennessee and Washington. MIEAC provides centralized

equal access services in Minnesota and North Dakota. BV-CLEC provides telecommunications

services to its affiliate, BV-LLC, pursuant to authorizations to provide competitive local ex-

change and/or interexchange telecommunications services in the District of Columbia and in

every U.S. state except Alaska, Delaware, Iowa and Maine. Layered provides communications

services primarily to other providers in California and New York.

               (ii)    Through Fund X/A and Fund X/C, to its knowledge, Transferee is current-

ly affiliated (as defined in the Act) with the following domestic telecommunications services

providers: (1) Telecommunications Management, LLC, which through its subsidiaries Ultra

Communications Group LLC and Avenue Broadband Communications LLC provides cable,

broadband and interconnected VoIP services to residential and commercial customers in parts of



                                                 12


Missouri, Indiana, Illinois, Mississippi, Louisana, Arkansas and Texas,8 (2) Zayo Group, LLC, a

bandwidth provider, and (3) Onvoy.

                  (iii)   To Transferee’s knowledge, Transferee is not affiliated with any other tel-

ecommunications carriers.

           (a)(8) Applicants respectfully submit that this Application is eligible for streamlined pro-

cessing pursuant to Sections 63.03 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. §63.03. In particular, with

respect to domestic authority, this Application is eligible for streamlined processing pursuant to

Section 63.03(b)(2)(i) because, immediately following the Transaction, (i) Transferee (and its

Affiliates, as defined in the Act) will have a market share in the interstate, interexchange market

of less than ten percent (10%), (ii) Transferee (and its Affiliates) will provide competitive

telephone exchange services or exchange access services (if at all) exclusively in geographic

areas served by a dominant local exchange carrier that is not a party to the Transaction and (iii)

none of the Applicants (or their Affiliates) are dominant with respect to any service.

           (a)(9) Other than its Section 214 authorizations described in this Application, Licensees

do not hold any other authorizations or licenses from the Commission. Emergency Networks,

LLC, a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Onvoy, holds a wireless license for which an applica-

tion will be filed with respect to the Transactions.

           (a)(10) No party is requesting special consideration because it is facing imminent business

failure.

           (a)(11) Not applicable.



8
        The Commission has forborn from applying the cross-ownership prohibition in Section
652(b) on an affiliate of a cable operator acquiring a competitive local exchange carrier. See
Petition for Declaratory Ruling to Clarify 47 U.S.C.§ 572 in the Context of Transactions be-
tween Competitive Local Exchange Carriers and Cable Operators, Order, 27 FCC Rcd 11532 ¶
21 (2012).

                                                   13


          (a)(12) Applicants submit that the Transactions are in the public interest. Licensees will

continue to be managed and operated by the same officers and personnel, but will be supple-

mented by management of Transferee and GTCR LLC. Further, Licensees may have access to

additional financial resources through their relationship with Transferee, enabling them to better

meet the needs of their customers and thus better compete in the telecommunications market-

place. At the same time, the Transactions will have no adverse impact on the customers of

Licensees. Immediately following the Transactions, Licensees will continue to provide high-

quality services at the same rates and on the same terms and conditions as are currently in effect.

The only change immediately following closing of the Transactions from a customer’s perspec-

tive will be that that Licensees’ ownership will change, with Transferee being their ultimate

parent.

VI.       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 transfer of

ownership and control of Licensees to Transferee.

                                               Respectfully submitted,
