ITC-MOD-20070514-00322 P Verizon Communications Inc. Modification Verizon Communications Inc. (Verizon) and its affiliates listed below (collectively "Verizon and its affiliates") request, pursuant to section 63.13 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.13, that the Commission reclassify Verizon and its affiliates as non-dominant carriers on the U.S.-Gibraltar route. According to the filing, Verizon and its affiliates are classified as dominant on the route under section 63.10 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.10, because they were affiliated with Gibtelecom Limited, a foreign carrier presumed to have market power on the foreign-end of the route. Verizon and its affiliates state that on April 24, 2007 Verizon sold its interests in Gibtelecom Limited to Slovene Telekom, and thus Verizion is no longer affiliated with Gibtelecom Limited. Consequently, Verizon and its affiliates state that they are no longer affiliated with a foreign carrier on the U.S.-Gibraltar route. Verizon and its affiliates submit that they therefore are entitled to a presumption of non-dominance in their provision of service on the U.S.-Gibraltar route. The Verizon affiliates are: Bell Atlantic Communications d/b/a Verizon Long Distance; NYNEX Long Distance Company d/b/a Verizon Enterprise Solutions; Verizon Hawaii International Inc.; Verizon Select Services Inc.; Verizon Airfone Inc. (f/k/a GTE Airfone Incorporated); MCI, LLC (f/k/a MCI, Inc.); MCI Communications Corporation; MCI International, Inc.; MCI Communications Services Inc. (f/k/a MCI WorldCom Communications, Inc.); MCI International Services, Inc. (f/k/a MCI WorldCom International, Inc.); MCI Communications Services, Inc. (f/k/a MCI WorldCom Network Services, Inc./MCI Network Services, Inc.); and, MFS Globenet, Inc. Interested parties may file comments on or before August 30, 2007, and reply comments on or before September 7, 2007. ITC-MOD-20070524-00323 P Verizon Communications Inc. Modification Verizon Communications Inc. (Verizon) and its affiliates listed below (collectively "Verizon and its affiliates") request, pursuant to section 63.13 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.13, that the Commission reclassify Verizon and its affiliates as non-dominant carriers on the U.S.-Venezuela route. According to the filing, Verizon and its affiliates are classified as dominant on the route under section 63.10 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.10, because they were affiliated with Compania Anonima Nacional Telefonos de Venezuela (CANTV), a foreign carrier presumed to have market power on the foreign-end of the route. Verizon and its affiliates state that Verizon sold its interests in CANTV and that on May 1, 2007 the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela assumed operational control of CANTV, and thus Verizion is no longer affiliated with CANTV. Consequently, Verizon and its affiliates state that they are no longer affiliated with a foreign carrier on the U.S-Venezuela route. Verizon and its affiliates submit that they therefore are entitled to a presumption of non-dominance in their provision of service on the U.S.-Venezuela route. The Verizon affiliates are: Bell Atlantic Communications d/b/a Verizon Long Distance; NYNEX Long Distance Company d/b/a Verizon Enterprise Solutions; Verizon Hawaii International Inc.; Verizon Select Services Inc.; Verizon Airfone Inc. (f/k/a GTE Airfone Incorporated); MCI, LLC (f/k/a MCI, Inc.); MCI Communications Corporation; MCI International, Inc.; MCI Communications Services Inc. (f/k/a MCI WorldCom Communications, Inc.); MCI International Services, Inc. (f/k/a MCI WorldCom International, Inc.); MCI Communications Services, Inc. (f/k/a MCI WorldCom Network Services, Inc./MCI Network Services, Inc.); and, MFS Globenet, Inc. Interested parties may file comments on or before August 30, 2007, and reply comments on or before September 7, 2007. 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. An updated version of Section 63.09-.25 of the rules, and other related sections, is available at http://www.fcc.gov/ib/pd/pf/telecomrules.html Page 2 of 2
