ISP-PDR-20060106-00001             P                 Telink Networks SW, LLC
Petition for Declaratory Ruling
Telink Networks SW, LLC ("Telink Networks" or the "Petitioner") requests a declaratory ruling that it is in the public interest to
permit the indirect foreign ownership of Telink Networks in excess of the 25 percent benchmark set forth in section 310(b)(4) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"). This petition is filed in connection with Telink Networks' transfer of control
application before the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau. See ULS File No. 0002434645.

According to the petition, Telink Networks is a Nevada limited liability company with two members: Scott Nisbet, a U.S. citizen, and
Patrick H. Barringer, a citizen of Canada, which is a World Trade Organization (WTO) Member country. Mr. Nisbet currently holds
an 80 percent ownership interest in Telink Networks, and Mr. Barringer holds the remaining 20 percent. Under the proposed
transaction, Mr. Nisbet's 80 percent ownership interest in Telink Networks will be transferred to Telink Holdings, a Nevada limited
liability company that will be solely owned and controlled by Patrick Barringer.

The Petitioner asserts that, pursuant to the rules and policies established by the Commission's Foreign Participation Order, 12 FCC Rcd
23891 (1997), modified by Order on Reconsideration, 15 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000), the indirect foreign ownership of Telink Networks
in excess of the 25 percent benchmark in Section 310(b)(4) of the Act is consistent with the public interest.

Interested parties may file comments on or before March 9, 2006, and reply comments on or before March 16, 2006.




REMINDER:

Applicants must certify that neither the applicant nor any party to the application is subject to a denial of federal benefits
by federal and/or state courts under authority granted in 21 U.S.C. § 862. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.2001–.2003.
