CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO INTERNATIONAL SECTION 214 AUTHORIZATIONS

(1) These authorizations are subject to the Exclusion List for International Section 214 Authorizations, which identifies
restrictions on providing service to particular countries or using particular facilities. The most recent Exclusion List is
attached to this Public Notice. The list applies to all U.S. international carriers, including those that have previously
received global or limited global Section 214 authority, whether by streamlined grant or specific written order. Carriers are
advised that the attached Exclusion List is subject to amendment at any time pursuant to the procedures set forth in
Streamlining the International Section 214 Authorization Process and Tariff Requirements, IB Docket No. 95-118, 11 FCC
Rcd 12884 (1996), para. 18. A copy of the current Exclusion List will be maintained in the FCC Reference and Information
Center and will be available at http://www.fcc.gov/ib/td/pf/exclusionlist.html. It also will be attached to each Public Notice
that grants international Section 214 authority.

(2) The export of telecommunications services and related payments to countries that are subject to economic sanctions
may be restricted. For information concerning current restrictions, call the Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S.
Department of the Treasury, (202) 622-2520.

(3) Carriers shall comply with the requirements of Section 63.11 of the Commission's rules, which requires notification by,
and in certain circumstances prior approval for, U.S. carriers acquiring an affiliation with foreign carriers. A carrier that
acquires an affiliation with a foreign carrier will be subject to possible reclassification as a dominant carrier on an affiliated
route pursuant to the provisions of Section 63.10 of the rules.

(4) Carriers shall file with the Commission a copy of all operating agreements entered into with their foreign
correspondents and all amendments within thirty (30) days of their execution, and shall otherwise comply with the filing
requirements contained in Sections 43.51, 64.1001 and 64.1002 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 43.51, 64.1001,
64.1002. In addition, any carrier interconnecting private lines to the U.S. public switched network at its switch, including
any switch in which the carrier obtains capacity either through lease or otherwise, shall file annually with the Chief,
International Bureau, a certified statement containing, on a country-specific basis, the number and type (e.g., 64 kbps
circuits) of private lines interconnected in such manner. The Commission will treat the country of origin information as
confidential. Carriers need not file their contracts for interconnection unless the Commission specifically requests.
Carriers shall file their annual report on February 1 (covering international private lines interconnected during the
preceding January 1 to December 31 period) of each year. International private lines to countries for which the
Commission has authorized the provision of switched basic services over private lines at any time during a particular
reporting period are exempt from this requirement. See 47 C.F.R. § 43.51(d).

(5) Carriers authorized to provide private line service either on a facilities or resale basis are limited to the provision of
such private line service only between the United States and those foreign points covered by their referenced
applications for Section 214 authority. In addition, the carriers may not -- and their tariffs must state that their customers
may not -- connect their private lines to the public switched network at either the U.S. or foreign end, or both, for the
provision of international switched basic services, unless the Commission has authorized the provision of switched
services over private lines to the particular country at the foreign end of the private line. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 63.16,
63.22(e)(1). This restriction is subject to an exception for facilities-based private lines as set forth in 47 C.F.R. § 63.22(e)(2).
See generally International Settlement Rates, IB Docket No. 96-261, Report and Order, FCC 97-280 (rel. Aug. 18, 1997),
paragraphs 242-259.

(6) The Commission has authorized the provision of switched basic services via facilities-based or resold private lines
between the United States and the following foreign points: Sweden, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom,
Australia, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Norway, Denmark, France, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Japan, Italy,
Ireland, Hong Kong, Iceland, Spain, Finland, Israel and Singapore.

(7) Carriers may engage in "switched hubbing" to countries for which the Commission has not authorized the provision
of switched basic services over private lines consistent with Section 63.17(b) of the rules.
