                              APPLICATION FOR
                            TRANSFER OF CONTROL

       Pursuant to section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), and

sections 63.04 and 63.24 of the Commission‘s rules, this Application seeks Commission approval

to transfer control of the stock of T3 Communications, Inc. ("T3 Com") to Shift$ Technologies,

Inc. ("Shift8") (the "Acquisition"). T3 Com holds authority to provide domestic and international


telecommunications services pursuant to section 214 of the Act. On May 8, 2017, Shift8 entered

into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with T3 Communications, Inc. ("T3 Com"). Pursuant to

the Agreement,         Shift§ Technologies, Inc. ("Shift8"), a Nevada corporation. will form T3

Acquisition, Inc. ("T3 Acquisition"), a Florida corporation. T3 Acquisition will merge with and

into T3 Com, with T3 Com as the survivor. As a result of the merger, T3 Com will become a

wholly owned subsidiary of Shift8. The T3 Shareholders will receive cash in exchange for their

shares of T3 Com.

         T3    Com     is   a provider      of interstate,     international    and    intrastate   interexchange

telecommunications services. The customers of T3 Com will benefit from the greater financial

resources and assets of Shift8 that will result from consummation of the ultimate transaction. This

transaction will help ensure continuity of service and enhance the ability of T3 Com to offer a

broader range of innovative products and services to consumers. The transfer of control will

therefore serve to enhance the overall capacity of T3 Com to compete in the marketplace and to

provide telecommunications services for a greater number of consumers at competitive rates.

Grant of this Application will clearly promote competition in the interstate and international long

distance telecommunications markets and will serve the public interest.

      be, affiliated with any foreign carrier within the meaning of section 63.09(d) and (e).

G     The Applicants certify that they do not seek authority to provide service to any
      country described in paragraphs (1) through (4) of section 63.18(j).

)     Not applicable.

1     Not applicable.

(m)   Not applicable.

(n)   Applicants certify that they have not agreed to accept special concessions directly

       (p)    This international section 214 Application qualifies for streamlined processing

              catriers; are not affiliated with any dominant U.S. carriers whose international
              switched or private line services the applicant seeks authority to resell; and do not
              seek authority to provide switched basic services over private lines to a country for
              which the Commission has not previously authorized the provision of switched
              services over private lines. This Application therefore should be granted, pursuant
              to section 63.12(a), fourteen days after the date of public notice listing this
              Application as accepted for filing.

IL     ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED BY SECTION 63.04

       This Application seeks Commission consentto transfer control of T3 Communications, Inc.,
which holds authority to provide domestic and international telecommunications services pursuant
to section 214 of the Act. Pursuant to section 63.04(b) of the Commission‘s rules, the parties
submit the following information in support of this Application in response to items 6 through 12
of section 63.04(a):

       6)     As set forth above, this Application seeks Commission consent to transfer control of
              the stock of T3 Com to Shift8.   As a result of the transfer, T3 Com will continue to
              operate and will be wholly owned by Shift8 Technologies, Inc.

       7)      [intentionally omitted]

       8)     This Application qualifies for streamlined processing under section 63.03(b)(2)(I)
because the transferee will have a market share in the interstate interexchange market of less than
10 percent, the transferee will provide competitive telephone exchange services or exchange access
services exclusively in geographic areas served by a dominant local exchange carrier that is not a
party to the proposed transaction, and no party to this Application is dominant with respect to any
service.

       (9)     The parties will file a slamming certification letter with the Commission, if
               necessary.

        (10) Only standard streamlined processing of this domestic section 214 transfer of
control application is sought pursuant to Section 63.03.

       (11)   No waiver requests are being filed in conjunction with the transaction.

        (12) As discussed above, grant of this Application will strengthen T3 Com as the post—
transaction company and will become a stronger competitor in the marketplace for interstate and
international telecommunications services. The customers of T3 Com will benefit from Shift8‘s
resources and assets, which will help ensure continuity of service and enhance the ability of T3
Com to offer a broader range of innovative products and services to customers. Grant of this
Application will promote competition in the domestic interexchange and international
telecommunications markets and will serve the public interest.


L     CONCLUSION

            For the foregoing reasons, this Application respectfully requests that the
Commission consent to the transfer of control of T3 Com to Shift8.
