The location, ownership and control of the cable landing station remain unchanged  Saipan: DOCOMO Pacific has changed the geographic location of the beach manhole and cable landing station, as reflected in Updated Appendix C. DOCOMO Pacific owns a preexisting structure that will serve as the cable landing station. The structure is located on land leased from M.S.

For reasons stated in the Original Application, the expeditious grant of the cable landing license will significantly advance the public interest, providing: redundancy and geographic diversity on the Guam-CNMI route; secure, highly-reliable, high-capacity facilities using the latest 2

technology; and much-needed competition on the Guam-CNMI route and thereby support the launch of access to bandwidth-intensive services and, more generally, support new economic activity in an otherwise-depressed market.3 By its signature below, DOCOMO Pacific certifies that no party to this application is subject to a denial of federal benefits under Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, as amended.4 DOCOMO Pacific has sent a copy of this amendment to the U.S. Departments of State, Commerce, and Defense.
