                                     INTERNATIONAL AUTHORIZATIONS GRANTED
  Section 214 Applications (47 C.F.R. § 63.18); Cable Landing License Applications (47 C.F.R. § 1.767); Requests to
           Authorize Switched Services over Private Lines (47 C.F.R. § 63.16); Section 310(b)(4) Requests
The following applications have been granted pursuant to the Commission’s streamlined processing procedures set forth
in Section 63.12 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.12, other provisions of the Commission’s rules, or procedures
set forth in an earlier public notice listing applications accepted for filing.

Unless otherwise noted, these grants authorize the applicants (1) to become a facilities-based international common
carrier subject to 47 C.F.R. § 63.22; and/or (2) to become a resale-based international common carrier subject to 47 C.F.R. §
63.23; or (3) to exceed the 25 percent foreign ownership benchmark applicable to common carrier radio licensees under 47
U.S.C. § 310(b)(4). Grants under Section 63.16 and certain grants under Section 63.18 also authorize carriers generally to
use their authorized private lines to provide switched services (ISR) between the United States and particular
international points pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 63.16. See also 47 C.F.R. §§ 63.22(e), 63.23(d).

This public notice serves as each newly authorized carrier’s Section 214 certificate. It contains general and specific
conditions, which are set forth below. Newly authorized carriers should carefully review the terms and conditions of their
authorizations. These are set forth in detail below and in Sections 63.21, 63.22, and 63.23 of the Commission’s rules, 47
C.F.R. §§ 63.21-.23. Failure to comply with general or specific conditions of an authorization, or with other relevant
Commission rules and policies, could result in fines and forfeitures.

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 notification by, 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. The Commission recently amended Section 63.11 of the
rules in its Order on Reconsideration in IB Docket No. 97-142, 15 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000).

(4) Carriers shall comply with the Commission's International Settlements Policy and associated filing requirements
contained in Sections 43.51 and 64.1001 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 43.51, 64.1001. The Commission modified
these requirements most recently in 1998 Biennial Regulatory Review - Reform of the International Settlements Policy and
Associated Filing Requirements, IB Docket Nos. 98-148, 95-22, CC Docket No. 90-337 (Phase II), FCC 99-73 (rel. May 6,
1999). 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 or the carrier is exchanging
switched traffic with a foreign carrier that the Commission has determined lacks market power in the country at the foreign
end of the private line. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 63.16, 63.22(e), 63.23(d). A foreign carrier lacks market power for purposes of this
rule if it does not appear on the Commission list of foreign carriers that do not qualify for the presumption that they lack
market power in particular foreign points. This list is available at
http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/International/Public_Notices/1999/da990809.txt. See generally 1998 Biennial Regulatory
