            In May of 1999, VoiceStream was spun off from its parent company, Western Wireless
    Corporation, and became an independent publicly traded company. Through an administrative
    oversight, VoiceStream neglected to obtain the requisite Section 214 authority needed to provide
    subscribers with the capability of completing international calls from their wireless telephones.

operate as a reseller of international services. This application, which is incorporated herein by this
reference, is subject to streamlined processing pursuant to Section 63.12 of the Commission‘s Rules.

         VoiceStream is currently seeking Commussion consent to mergers with Omnipoint
Corporation ("Omnipoint") and Aerial Communications, Inc. ("Aerial") respectively, that will result
in the creation of a nationwide GSM PCS network able to compete with national CDMAand TDMA
networks.* Both Omnipoint and Aerial are authorized to operate as international resale carriers
pursuant to Section 214 of the Act*, and it is anticipated that these authorizations will be transferred
to the newly created parent company for the merged entities, VoiceStream Wireless Holding
Corporation, following the closing. VoiceStream seeks temporary authority so that it may remain
in compliance with Section 214 of the Act until the Commission acts upon the Section 214
application filed herewith.

        For the foregoing reasons, VoiceStream submits that the public interest, convenience and
necessity would befurthered by grant of VoiceStream‘s request for temporary authority to operate
as an international resale carrier.

        Please address any questions regarding this application to the undersigned counsel to
VoiceStream.

                Re:      Request for Temporary Authority to Operate as a Reseller of International Services

        Dear Ms. Salas:

                VoiceStream Wireless Corporation ("VoiceStream"), along with and on behalf of its wholly—
        owned subsidiaries", hereby requests temporary authority, pursuant to Section 214(a) of the
        Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. Section 214, to resell the services of other
        carriers to provide telecommunications services between the United States and various international
        points. Grant of the subject application is demonstrably in the public interest as it will allow a major
        wireless competitor to continue to provide a full array of complementary services that its customers
        need and desire.

                VoiceStrearmn Wireless Corporation is a Washington Corporation primarily engaged in
    .   acquiring, constructing and operating personal communications service ("PCS") systems and related
‘       telecommunications systems throughout the United States VoiceStream holds its
        telecommunicationsassets through its direct wholly—owned subsidiary VoiceStream PCS Holding
        L.L.C. ("VoiceStream PCS Holding"), a Delaware limited liability company, and various wholly—
        owned subsidiaries of VoiceStream PCS Holding.

                In May of 1999, VoiceStream was spun off from its parent company, Western Wireless
        Corporation, and became an independent publicly traded company. Through an administrative
        oversight, VoiceStream neglected to obtain the requisite Section 214 authority needed to provide
        subscribers with the capability of completing international calls from their wireless telephones.
        VoiceStream is filing, concurrently with this request, an application for permanent authority to



                4        Subsidiaries of VoiceStream include: VoiceStream PCS Holding LL.C.,
