SCL-T/C-20180521-00011 E Sprint Communications Co., LP Transfer of Control Grant of Authority Date of Action: 06/06/2018 Current Licensee: Sprint Communications Co., LP FROM: SoftBank Group Corp. TO: SoftBank Group Corp. Notification filed May 21, 2018, of the pro forma transfer of control of interests in several cable landing licenses held by Sprint Communications Co., LP (Sprint LP), effective April 26, 2018. Licenses for the following cable systems were transferred: (1) Taino-Carib, SCL-LIC-19920201-00010 (Old File No. SCL-92-002); (2) Americas-I, SCL-LIC-19921101-00011 (Old File No. SCL-93-002); (3) Antillas-1, SCL-LIC-19950818-00003 (Old File No. SCL-95-012); (4) Pan American, SCL-LIC-19970413-00017 (Old File No. SCL-97-001), SCL-MOD-20110928-00028; (5) China-US, SCL-LIC-19980301-00037 (Old File No. SCL-98-002); (6) Americas II, SCL-LIC-19980429-00019 (Old File No. SCL-98-003), SCL-MOD-20110928-00028; (7) Japan-US, SCL-LIC-19981117-00025, SCL-MOD-20071130-00020; (8) TAT-14, SCL-LIC-19990303-00004, SCL-MOD-20040301-00011; and, (9) Maya-1, SCL-LIC-19990325-00006, SCL-MOD-20110928-00028. In a corporate reorganization which occurred on April 26, 2018, Softbank Group Corp (Softbank), which holds a 84.1% indirect and controlling interest in Sprint LP, swapped a wholly-owned subsidiary, SoftBank Group Capital Limited, into the vertical ownership chain between it and Starburst I, Inc. (Starburst) and Galaxy Investment Holdings, Inc. (Galaxy), the holding companies through which Softbank owns and controls Sprint LP. Softbank is a Japanese company, SoftBank Group Capital Limited is a United Kingdom company, and Starburst, Galaxy and Sprint LP are U.S. corporations. Softbank was and remains the ultimate parent of Sprint LP. INFORMATIVE SCL-LIC-20120330-00002 Latam Telecommunications, L.L.C. By letter dated May 17, 2018, the Department of Justice (DOJ) notified the Commission that it was being removed as a party to the January 23, 2013 Letter of Assurance (LOA) from Latam Telecommunications, L.L.C. (Latam) to DOJ and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regarding the America Movil Submarine Cable System (AMX1 System). The Commission conditioned the grant of the cable landing license for the AMX1 System upon Latam and its affiliates abiding by the commitments and undertakings in the LOA. SCL-LIC-20130330-00002, Actions Taken Under Cable Landing License Act, Rep. No. SCL-00137, Public Notice, 28 FCC Rcd 1323, 1326 (IB 2013). DOJ will no longer monitor or enforce Latam's compliance with the LOA. This change has no effect on the validity of the LOA and the assurances made in it with respect to DHS, and compliance with the LOA remains a condition of grant of the cable landing license. A failure to comply and/or remain in compliance with any of the commitments and undertakings in the LOA shall constitute a failure to meet a condition of the cable landing license and thus grounds for declaring license terminated without further action on the part of the Commission. Failure to meet a condition of the license may also result in monetary sanctions or other enforcement action by the Commission. A copy of the DOJ May 17 2018 Letter and the LOA are publicly available and may be viewed on the FCC website through the International Bureau Filing System (IBFS) by searching for SCL-LIC-20130330-00002 and accessing "Other filings related to this application" from the Document Viewing area.
