ISP-PDR-20050107-00001 P Teligent, Inc. Petition for Declaratory Ruling Teligent, Inc. ("Teligent" or the "Petitioner") requests a declaratory ruling that the Commission find permissible the indirect foreign ownership of Teligent in excess of the 34 percent amount previously approved by the Commission under Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. See Public Notice, DA 04-1534 (rel. May 27, 2004). Specifically, the Petitioner requests a declaratory ruling approving a 45 percent indirect foreign ownership in Teligent (including up to 35 percent indirect ownership by Aspen Offshore, Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands). According to the Petition, Aspen Partners - Series A, a Delaware limited partnership, holds 97.19 percent of the shares in Teligent. The Petitioner states that the following foreign investors will hold ownership interests directly in Aspen Partners - Series A: (1) Aspen Offshore, Ltd. ("Aspen Offshore"), a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (35 percent interest), (2) an unnamed Canadian entity (.07 percent interest), (3) various unnamed entities from the Cayman Islands (9.7 percent aggregate interest); and (4) an unnamed entity from the Netherlands (.09 percent interest). The total of these foreign interests is 44.86 percent. The Petitioner asserts that Aspen Offshore has its principal place of business in the United States or the Cayman Islands, a territory of the United Kingdom (a member of the World Trade Organization). Therefore, pursuant to the rules and policies established by the Commission's Foreign Participation Order, 12 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000), the Petitioner asserts that the indirect foreign ownership of Teligent in excess of the 25 percent benchmark in Section 310(b)(4) of the Act is consistent with the public interest.
