WASHINGTON D.C. 20554 News media information 202-418-0500 Fax-On-Demand 202-418-2830; Internet: http://www.fcc.gov (or ftp.fcc.gov) TTY (202) 418-2555 Report No. TEL-00989S Friday January 27, 2006 STREAMLINED INTERNATIONAL APPLICATIONS ACCEPTED FOR FILING SECTION 214 APPLICATIONS (47 C.F.R. § 63.18); SECTION 310(B)(4) REQUESTS Unless otherwise specified, the following procedures apply to the applications listed below: The international Section 214 applications listed below have been found, upon initial review, to be acceptable for filing and subject to the streamlined processing procedures set forth in Section 63.12 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.12. These applications are for authority under Section 214 of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 214, (a) to transfer control of an authorized carrier or to assign a carrier's existing authorization; and/or (b) to become a facilities-based international common carrier; and/or (c) to become a resale-based international common carrier. Pursuant to Section 63.12 of the rules, these Section 214 applications will be granted 14 days after the date of this public notice (see 47 C.F.R. § 1.4 regarding computation of time), and the applicant may commence operations on the 15th day, unless the Commission has informed the applicant in writing, within 14 days after the date of this public notice, that the application, on further examination, has been deemed ineligible for streamlined processing. Communications between outside parties and Commission staff concerning these applications are permitted subject to the Commission's rules for "permit-but-disclose proceedings." See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1206. An application can be removed from streamlined processing only in the sound discretion of Commission staff. The filing of comments or a petition to deny will not necessarily result in an application being deemed ineligible for streamlined processing. The petitions for declaratory ruling listed below are for authority under Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 310(b)(4), to exceed the 25 percent foreign ownership benchmark applicable to common carrier radio licensees. The requested rulings will be granted 14 days after the date of this public notice, effective the next day, unless the application is formally opposed or the Commission has informed the applicant in writing, within 14 days of the date of this public notice, that the application, on further examination, has been deemed ineligible for streamlined processing. For this purpose, a formal opposition shall be sufficient only if it is received by the Commission and by the applicant within 14 days of the date of this public notice and its caption and text make it unmistakably clear that it is intended to be a formal opposition. Copies of all applications listed here are available for public inspection in the FCC Office of Public Affairs Reference and Information Center, located in room CY-A257 at the Portals 2 building, 445 12th Street SW, Washington DC 20554.

ITC-ASG-20051220-00509 E CINGULAR WIRELESS LLC Assignment Current Licensee: Western Wireless, LLC FROM: Western Wireless, LLC TO: CINGULAR WIRELESS LLC Application for consent to assign a portion of the international customer base served by ALLTEL Corporation (ALLTEL) and its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Western Wireless, LLC (Western), to Cingular Wireless LLC (Cingular), a company that is jointly owned and controlled by AT&T, Inc. (formerly named SBC Communications Inc.) and BellSouth Corporation (BellSouth). Pursuant to a Purchase Agreement (Agreement), ALLTEL agreed to transfer to Cingular, for cash consideration, control of certain cellular and personal communications service (PCS) licenses and related assets, including the customer base, within the Arkansas 11 - Hempstead Cellular Market Area. Following consummation of the transaction, Western will retain its international section 214 authorization, ITC-214-20010427-00254, and Cingular will continue to provide service under its international section 214 authorization, ITC-214-20011103-00547 (see also ITC-T/C-20040318-00126, ITC-ASG-20041213-00505). ITC-T/C-20051227-00520 E National Mobile Communications Corp. d/b/a SoVerNet Transfer of Control Current Licensee: National Mobile Communications Corp. d/b/a SoVerNet FROM: SoVerNet, Inc. TO: Atlantic Telenetwork, Inc. Application for consent to transfer control of the international section 214 authorization, ITC-214-19980401-00220 (see also ITC-ASG-20050404-00134), held by National Mobile Communications Corp. d/b/a SoVerNet (NMC), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of SoVerNet, Inc. (SoVerNet), a Vermont company, from SoVerNet to Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc. (ATN). ATN is a U.S. publicly traded company that is 59.14% owned by a U.S. citizen. It is affiliated with foreign carriers in Guyana, Haiti and Bermuda. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (Agreement), ATN VT Sub, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ATN, will be merged into SoVerNet, with SoVerNet becoming the surviving entity. SoVerNet will continue to hold 100 percent of the stock of NMC. Applicants note that, at the time of the merger, ATN's direct wholly-owned subsidiary, SoVerNet Holding Corporation (SoVerNet Holdings), will issue common stock to a new shareholder. As a result, ATN's direct interest in the common stock of SoVerNet Holdings (and, in turn, ATN's indirect interest in SoVerNet and NMC), will be 96% and the new shareholder will hold the remaining 4%. NMC agrees to be classified as a dominant international carrier on the U.S.-Guyana route upon consummation of the transfer of control to ATN. NMC qualifies for non-dominant treatment in its provision of service to Bermuda and Haiti because the foreign carriers with which NMC will be affiliated in each of those countries lack 50 percent market share in the international transport and local access markets on the foreign end of those routes.
