         Dear Us. Salas:

                         Zenex Lon,; Dist ince, nc. (‘ Zenex"), throu gh counsel and pursuant to the Grant
         Stam) procedure for requests fcr Speial T mporary Auth prity established by the FCC‘s
         Interr.ational Bureau with regarc. to in ernational applicant: for authority pursuant to Section 214
         of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (see Public Notice, Report No. IN 95—12 (June
         6, 1995)), hereby requests Special Temporary Authority to transfer control of Zenex, holder of a
         Section 214 authorization to provide global resale services (see FCC File No. ITC—96—308), to
         Prestige Investments, Inc. ("Prestige"), pending grant of formal Commission approval of that
         transaction.

                            The Commission granted Zenex authority to provide global resale services on
         August 2, 1996. See Public Notice, DA—96—1221 (August 2, 1996). Zenex and Prestige are
         today filing an application for authority to transfer control of Zenex to Prestige (the
         "Application") (please see copy attached) by means of a stock purchase transaction. The
         Application raises no issues of foreign affiliation, and Zenex and Prestige therefore believe that it
         can and should be granted without delay.


                                                                                                       DUPLICATE

          International Bureau with regard to international applicants for authority pursuant to Sectior. 214
          of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (see Public Notice, Report No. IN 95—12 (June
         6, 1995)), hereby requests Special Temporary Authority to transfer control of Zenex, holder of a
         Section 214 authorization to provide global resale services (see FCC File No. ITC—96—308), to
         Prestige Investments, Inc. ("Prestige"), pending grant of formal Commission approval of that
         transaction.

                            The Commission granted Zenex authority to provide global resale services on
         August 2, 1996. See Public Notice, DA—96—1221 (August 2, 1996). Zenex and Prestige are
         today filing an application for authority to transfer control of Zenex to Prestige (the
         "Application") (please see copy attached) by means of a stock purchase transaction. The
          Application raises no issues of foreign affiliation, and Zenex and Prestige therefore believe that it
          can and should be granted without delay.

                By the instant Request, Zenex seeks Spezial. Temporary Authority to transfer
control of its Section 214 authorization to Prestige pencling Commission action on the Applic: tion
so as to enable the parties to attain the anticipated econom‘c snd marketing efficiencies resulti ig
from their proposed transaction at the earliest possible time. As Zenex cannot know with
certainty the length of time that the Commission will require to rule on the Application, it reqi ests
that the Special Temporary Authority that it seeks be granted for the maximum allowable time ,
i.e., 180 days.

               Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the
undersigned.

III.   CONSIDERATIONS
       The proposed transaction will serve the public interest, convenience and necessity by

enabling Zenex to continue to provide low—cost, high quality telecommunications services and

expand its service offerings so as to enhance competition in the U.S. market for

telecommunications services. In late 1998, Zenex redirected its focus towards the pre—paid calling

       The p.oposed trausact n will also allow Zenex and Prestige to realize significant

economic and marketing efficiencies in the provision of high—quality, low—cost telecommunications

services and, as noted above, to compete more effectively in the competitive telecommunications

marketplace. These efficiencies will serve the interests ofU.S. ratepayers, in that they will

promote vigorous competition among service providers and exert downward pressure on the cost

of telecommunications services.
