                                 Bharti Airtel is a voting member of, and has a higher than 5% interest the the
                         Asia America Gateway System ("AAG"), a submarine cable connecting Asia to the
                         United States The AAG system has been licensed by the Commission and Bharti
               Beijing
                         Airtel is a licensee under the license (the "FCC License").‘
               Boston

             Hartford
                         Commission notice of an assignment of Bharti Airtel‘s interest in the AAG system

        Silicon Valley   Bharti Airtel‘s international network by holding all of Bharti Airtel‘s submarine
