SUPPLEMENT Altice USA, Inc. (“Altice USA”) hereby supplements and updates its notices for pro forma transfer of control of international Section 214 authorizations controlled by Altice USA (ITC-T/C- 20181221-00232 and ITC-T/C-20181221-00233).

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.

Direct Interest: 100% of Next Luxembourg S.C.S.p (holds the sole unlimited partnership unit) Principal Business: Telecommunications and Cable Television Name: Patrick Drahi Address: 5, rue Eugène Ruppert, L-2453 Luxembourg Citizenship: Israel Percentage Owned: 100% of Next Luxembourg Management G.P. S.à.r.l. and Next Luxembourg S.C.S.p. (holds 100% of the limited partnership units) Principal Business: Telecommunications and Cable Television 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 effect of these changes was to ultimately transfer Cebridge Telecom Limited, LLC and Cebridge Telecom TX, L.P. from the current silo controlled by Cequel Corporation into the existing organizational structure indirectly controlled by Cablevision Systems Corporation. Ultimate ownership of the Section 214 authorization holders remains unchanged and the structure of the authorization holders below Cequel Communications, LLC also remains the same post- transaction. The reorganization transaction occurred through the following steps: 1. Cequel Communications Holdings I LLC merged into Cablevision Systems Corporation, with Cablevision Systems Corporation surviving. 2. Cequel Communications Holdings II, LLC merged into CSC Holdings, LLC, with CSC Holdings, LLC surviving. 3 After completion of this transaction, the Cablevision and Suddenlink silos were combined and resulted in both Cebridge Telecom Limited, LLC and Cebridge Telecom TX, L.P. being held indirectly by Cablevision Systems Corporation and its subsidiary CSC Holdings, LLC, the existing parents of Altice USA’s Cablevision licensee subsidiaries. 3 The remaining entities controlled by Cequel Corporation subsequently underwent a series of internal transactions, but because these entities did not control FCC licensees they are being omitted from the description and organizational charts. 3

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. 4 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.” 5 4 See n.1, supra; see also 47 C.F.R. § 63.24(d), n.2. 5 Fed.
