The Commission has determined that transactions such as this that involve a transferee that is non—dominant with respect to any service provided, and has a market share in the interstate, interexchange market of less than 10 percent do not raise the

potential of competitive harm.‘ Additionally, neither Transferee nor Licensee are affiliated with a foreign carrier and neither seeks authority to resell the international or private line services of any affiliated dominant U.S. carrier. 9.

only and the Company‘s business practices, customer service offerings, and/or customer billing will remain the same post transaction. The proposed transaction also raises no competitive issues, and there will be no reduction of competition in the service areas.

Applicants respectfully request streamlined and expedited treatment to permit the Applicants to consummate the proposed transaction as soon as possible.
