Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: CB—1 Cable System File No. SCL—LIC—20080603—00011 Notification of Current Capacity Dear Ms. Dortch: Cedar Cable Ltd. ("Cedar"), by its undersigned counsel, hereby updates the records of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") to reflect that the CB—1 Cable System ("CB—1"), a private cable extending between Bermuda and the United States, will only operate at 10 Gbps, instead of 20 Gbps as authorized in the CB—1 license, FCC File No. SCL—LIC—20080603—00011. Cedar and MFS CableCo US, Inc. ("Verizon") (collectively the "Licensees"), completed construction and commenced operating the CB—1 on December 20, 2008. As described in the original application, the CB—1 was built using cable from the deactivated Gemini North cable, which had consisted of two fiber pairs providing capacity between the United States and the United Kingdom as follows: (i) one fiber pair carrying 8 x 2.5 gigabits per second (Gbps) traffic streams; and (ii) the other pair carrying 2 x 10 Gbps traffic streams. The Gemini North cable was recovered from the seabed and moved so that it now connects the United States and Bermuda. As built and configured, however, the CB—1 cable system capacity is 10 Gbps, with only one active fiber pair carrying 2 x 10 Gbps traffic streams as one "collapsed loop" creating a single 10 Gbps traffic stream. Boston Hartford To increase the CB—1 System‘s design capacity would require the use of new technology Hong Kong over the existing wet plant as well as upgrades to the dry plant. London Los Angeles Accordingly, Cedar submits this filing to ensure the continuing accuracy of the FCC‘s New York records regarding CB—1. If you have any questions regarding this notification, or need Orange County additional information, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.
