                                               ATTACHMENT 1

        This filing notifies the Federal Communications Commission (“Commission”) pursuant to
Section 63.24(f) of the Commission’s rules of the pro forma transfer of control of several
international Section 214 authorizations controlled by Altice USA, Inc. (“Altice USA”). 1
Specifically, on November 27, 2018, Altice USA combined its two primary organizational silos
by transferring certain corporate subsidiaries that operate under the Suddenlink brand into the
corporate structure indirectly controlled by Altice USA’s wholly-owned subsidiary Cablevision
Systems Corporation. This restructuring did not change the ultimate ownership or control of Altice
USA, its subsidiaries, or the international 214 authorizations. As such, the transaction was pro
forma in nature.

Answer to Question 13

        This filing notifies the Commission pursuant to Section 63.24(f) of the Commission’s rules
of the pro forma transfer of control of international Section 214 authorizations held by Cebridge
Telecom Limited, LLC and Cebridge Telecom TX, L.P., and indirectly controlled by Altice USA.
On November 27, 2018, Altice USA combined its two primary organizational silos by transferring
certain corporate subsidiaries that operate under the Suddenlink brand into the corporate structure
indirectly controlled by Altice USA’s wholly-owned subsidiary Cablevision Systems Corporation.

        The transaction is the regulatory definition of pro forma, as confirmed by the
Commission’s grant of consent for the pro forma transfer of certain non-common carrier radio
licenses in connection with this transaction. 3 Therefore, Altice USA certifies that the transaction
has not resulted in a substantial change in ultimate ownership and is pro forma under the
Commission’s rules. The Commission has stated that, in situations “where no substantial change
of control will result from the transfer or assignment, grant of the application is deemed
presumptively in the public interest.” 4
