See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1206. An application can be removed from streamlined processing only in the sound discretion of Commission staff.

ITC-AMD-20091202-00508 P TRINITY COMMUNICATIONS LTD Amendment Amendment filed to ITC-T/C-20090506-00204, an application for consent to the transfer of control of international section 214 authorization, ITC-214-20030515-00268, held by Trinity Communications Ltd. (Trinity) from Columbus Communications Ltd. (Columbus) to Cable Bahamas Ltd. (CBL). See DA 09-1856, rel. August 25, 2009. Trinity is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Caribbean Crossing Ltd., which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBL. Columbus is the controlling shareholder of CBL through a 30.2% equity interest in CBL and voting authority to elect three (3) of the five (5) directors of CBL. Pursuant to the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement executed between CBL, Columbus and its indirect parent Columbus Communications Inc., Columbus will sell and CBL will purchase 100 percent of the shares in CBL currently owned by Columbus. As a result of the proposed transaction, the other existing owners will increase their ownership of CBL. CBL has subsequently entered into a Trust Declaration pursuant to which 5,000,000 shares of CBL common stock currently held by Columbus will be held by a newly created trust independent of both CBL and the Government of the Bahamas. Consequently, the Trust will have a 26.74% equity and voting interest in CBL. The trustee is Dr. Keva Bethel, a citizen of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. The Government of the Bahamas will have a combined 21.39% equity and voting interest in CBL. (The National Insurance Board (NIB), an instrumentality of the Government of the Bahamas will hold a 16.23% interest and the Treasurer of the Government of the Bahamas will have a 5.16% interest.) No other individuals or entities will have a 10 percent or greater direct or indirect equity or voting interest in CBL. The Trust will terminate 14 days after the occurrence of the first of the following to occur: (a) the sale by Bahamas Telecommunications Corporation of more than 50% of its capital shares to a third party other than the Government of The Bahamas or an instrumentality thereof; (b) the admission of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas to the World Trade Organization; (c) the dilution of the interest in CBL held by the Government of The Bahamas to a level that, if the Trust Shares were transferred to CBL, the combined equity and voting interest of the Government of The Bahamas in CBL would be 25% or less; or (d) the dissolution or liquidation of CBL. At that time the shares of CBL held by the trust will be distributed to the other existing owners of CBL and the Government of the Bahamas will have a 29.2% ownership interest in CBL. (NIB will hold a 21.9% interest and the Treasurer will have a 7.3% interest.) No other individuals or entities will have a 10 percent or greater direct or indirect equity or voting interest in CBL.
