Wiley,Rein &Telding 1776 K eet, NW. Washingt D.C. 20006 (202 19—7000 Fax: 2 719—7049 ww Ttf.com Marc :9, 1999 Magalie Roman Salas Federal Communications Commission The Portals 445 Twwelfth Street, S.W. 12 Street Lobby, TW—A325 Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Request for Temporary :ction 214 Authority to Provide International Services Under Sectiotr .04 of the Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.04 Dear Ms. Salas: VitelCellular herebyrespectfully requ ; temporary authority to provide international switched services as a resale carrier between t United States and all international points, pursuant to Section 63.04 of the Federal Com nications Commission ("FCC" or "Commission") Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.04. Su authority would allow VitelCellular to continue to serve the public pending FCC action on Vi ellular‘s 214 application, filed concurrently with this request. A copy of that application i ttached for the staff‘s convenience. VitelCellular primarily provides dome ; local and longdistance commercial mobile radio service ("CMRS") on a resale basis in t1 J.S. Virgin Islands. VitelCellular also provides some international service (less than 1.3 % of annual minutes), mostly to neighboring islands and without the need to dial the 011 internatic l prefix. VitelCellular has consistently taken st to comply with Commuission requirements. Until now, VitelCellular was unaware of the need to apply for and receive Section 214 authority before permitting its CMRS customers to make international calls. VitelCellular‘s primary business, the provision of CMRS, including domestic long distance services, is subject to relatively few FCC regulations, and thus, VitelCellular was not cognizant of the unique federal requirements applicable to international resale service. VitelCellular became aware of its error only after its parent, Emerging Communications, Corp., consulted with its counsel regarding entering the international service business. Specifically, to better serve customers, Emerging Communications, Corp., sought advice regarding the creation of an affiliate with primary responsibility for international services. In light of its discovery, VitelCellular is requesting temporary international switched resale authority so that it may continue to provide international service to its CMRS customers while the FCC considers its Section 214 application. VitelCellular‘s newly established affiliate corporation, ICUSC, Inc., also submitted an application for Section 214 authority.

Magalie Roman Salas March 29, 1999 Page 2 VitelCellular believes that the grant of temporary authority will be in the public interest, convenience and necessity. Temporary authority would be an initial step in ensuring complete compliance with the Commission‘s Rules and would permit VitelCellular to avoid disruption of service to the public. As detailed in its Section 214 application, VitelCellular is not itself, and does not have an affiliation with, a foreign carrier. VitelCellular therefore qualifies for non—dominant treatment under Section 63.10(a)(1) of the Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.10(a)(1), and its Section 214 application is eligible for streamlined processing under Section 63.12 of the Cormmission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.12.‘ VitelCellular certifies, pursuant to Sections 1.2001 through 1.2003 of the Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.2001—1.2003, that it is not subject to a denial of Federal benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti—Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. § 862. For the foregoing reasons, VitelCellular respectfully requests that the FCC grant it termporary authority to continue to provide international switched services as a resale carrier, while the Commission considers VitelCellular‘s Section 214 application. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions or need further information, please contact me at (340) 771—8861 or VitelCellular‘s FCC counsel, Greg Vogt and Jennifer Wheatley of Wiley, Rein & Fielding at (202) 719—7000. Sincerely, se ,,4// David L. Sharp VitelCellular No. 2 Beltjen Place St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands 00802 ‘ VitelCellular‘s Section 214 application also qualifies for 14 day streamlined processing under the Commission‘s new rules, which are not yet in effect. See 1998 Biennial Regulatory Review of International Common Carrier Regulations, IB Docket No. 98—118 (Mar. 23, 1998) (Report and Order).
