Current Licensee:  Telecom North America Inc.
FROM: Telecom North America Inc.
TO:        G3 Telecom USA, Inc.
Application filed for consent to the partial assignment of assets of Telecom North America Inc. (Telna), to G3 Telecom USA, Inc. (G3), a U.S.

Current Licensee:     Cable & Wireless Communications, Inc.
FROM:   Cable &  Wireless Communications, Inc.
TO:       CWC New Cayman Limited
Notification filed March 6, 2017, of the pro forma assignment of international section 214 authorization, ITC-214-20100512-00191, held by
Cable & Wireless Communications, Inc. (CWCI) to CWC New Cayman Limited, effective December 17, 2015. The assignment is the first step
of a two-step transaction transferring control of ITC-214-20100512-00191 from Cable & Wireless Communications plc (C&W) to Liberty Global
plc. See ITC-T/C-20151130-00291.

CWCI is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of C&W. CWC New Cayman, a newly incorporated Cayman Island entity, is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of CWC New Cayman Holdco Limited (CWC New Cayman Holdco), a newly incorporated Cayman Island holding company. CWC
New Cayman Holdco is owned by shareholders holding a majority of the shares of C&W and consequently C&W majority shareholders have de
jure control of CWC New Cayman and CWC New Cayman Holdco. Thus C&W majority shareholders retain ultimate control of
ITC-214-20100512-00191 now held by CWC New Cayman.

USConnect Holdings, Inc. (USConnect) requests that the Commission modify its international 214 authorization, ITC-214-20000310-00140, to
remove the condition requiring compliance with the May 18, 2005 letter outlining the commitments made by Eastern Kansas Holdings, Inc. to the
Department of Justice (DOJ), including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS,
collectively with DOJ and FBI, the Executive Branch agencies) (2005 Letter). See ITC-ASG-20050405-00140. USConnect Holdings states that
it has since acquired the underlying authorization, see ITC-ASG-20130927-00269. On March 19, 2017, DHS, with the concurrence of DOJ,
including the FBI, filed a letter stating that the Executive Branch agencies have no objection to the removal of the condition. We therefore
remove the condition from ITC-214-20000310-00140 that USConnect comply with the 2005 Letter.

approval of the transfer of control of Columbus and CNTS to Liberty Global. Specifically, Columbus would become an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Liberty Global and CNTS would remain a direct wholly-owned subsidiary or Columbus.
