                   APPLICATION FOR A CABLE LANDING LICENSE
                     (STREAMLINED PROCESSING REQUESTED)
       GU Holdings Inc. (“GU Holdings”), pursuant to the Act Relating to the Landing and

Operation of Submarine Cables in the United States, 47 U.S.C. §§ 34-39, Executive Order

10,530, and 47 C.F.R. § 1.767, requests a license to construct, land, and operate a private, non-

common carrier fiber-optic submarine cable system connecting Virginia Beach, Virginia, and

Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez, France. The cable system is known as Dunant, after Henri Dunant, the

first Nobel Peace Prize winner and founder of the Red Cross.

       The system will provide capacity to connect GU Holdings’ affiliates’ data centers and

points of presence (“POPs”) in the U.S. and Europe. GU Holdings will operate the system on a

non-common-carrier basis, by using system capacity as an input for services offered by its

affiliates or by providing bulk capacity to wholesale and enterprise customers on particularized

terms and conditions pursuant to individualized negotiations.

       Grant of the license will serve the public interest, convenience, and necessity. Dunant

will provide significant new and replacement capacity on U.S.-Europe routes, where demand

continues to increase substantially each year and where some existing systems are nearing the

end of their useful lives. Dunant will also provide geographically-diverse capacity, as most


existing trans-Atlantic systems connect the U.S. with the United Kingdom, Ireland, and other

Northern European countries. Additional, direct U.S.-France capacity will further strengthen the

resilience of trans-Atlantic telecommunications.

        GU Holdings respectfully requests streamlined processing of this application. GU

Holdings intends to commence commercial operation of the cable system in the third quarter of

2020. GU Holdings therefore seeks timely grant of a cable landing license by the Commission no

later than June 2020 in order to permit construction activities to proceed on schedule.


  I.    COMPLIANCE WITH 47 C.F.R. § 1.767

        A.       Applicant Information: 47 C.F.R. § 1.767(a)(1)-(a)(3), (a)(8), (a)(9), (j), and (k)

        Appendix A provides the information required by 47 C.F.R. § 1.767(a)(1)-(a)(3), (a)(8),

(a)(9), (j), and (k).

        B.       Description of the System: 47 C.F.R. § 1.767(a)(4)

        Dunant will have a total length of 6,600 kilometers, with a single segment between

Virginia Beach and Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez. Dunant will consist of twelve fiber pairs, with a total

design capacity of 25 Tb/s per fiber pair. GU Holdings provides a route map in Appendix B.

        C.       Description of Cable Landing Stations: 47 C.F.R. § 1.767(a)(5)

        GU Holdings provides descriptions of the cable landing stations in Virginia Beach and

Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez in Appendices C and D, respectively.

        D.       Regulatory Classification: 47 C.F.R. § 1.767(a)(6)

        GU Holdings will operate the system on a non-common carrier basis. Non-common-

carrier classification is consistent with established Commission policy and judicial precedent.




                                                   2


       First, the system will not operate on a common-carrier basis as defined in NARUC I.1 The

courts have stated that “the primary sine qua non of common carrier status is a quasi-public

character, which arises out of the undertaking ‘to carry for all people indifferently.’”2 On this

system, however, capacity will either be used by GU Holdings and its affiliates to meet their own

internal needs for bandwidth, or made available to third parties pursuant to individually-

negotiated indefeasible rights of use (“IRUs”) and capacity leases, the terms of which will vary

depending on the characteristics and needs of the particular capacity purchase. The Commission

has consistently found that such offerings do not make an applicant a common carrier.3

       Second, under the NARUC I test, the Commission must determine whether the public

interest requires common-carrier operation of the submarine cable system.4 Traditionally, the

Commission has focused on whether an applicant has sufficient market power to warrant

common-carrier regulation,5 although the Commission “is not limited to that reasoning” and has

of [the] operations to expect an indifferent holding out to the eligible user public”), cert. denied,

services following enactment of the Telecommunications Act of 1996).

Cable Network would not constitute the effective provision of a service to the public so as to
make the applicant a common carrier); AT&T Submarine Systems, Inc., Cable Landing License,

IRUs does not rise to the level of an ‘indiscriminate’ offering” so as to constitute common
carriage), aff’d 13 FCC Rcd. 21,585 (1998), aff’d sub nom. Virgin Islands Telephone Corp. v.
FCC, 198 F.3d 921 (D.C. Cir. 1999).

compulsion . . . to serve [the public] indifferently”).

looked more broadly to determine whether common-carrier regulation is in the public interest.6

The system poses no such competitive or other public interest concerns.

       Dunant will compete directly with the existing Apollo and FLAG systems on the U.S.-

France route. It will also compete on broader U.S.-Europe routes with, for example, AEConnect-

1, Atlantic Crossing-1, GTT Atlantic, Marea, TAT-14, TGN-Atlantic, and Yellow/AC-2, which

have onward connectivity to France via other submarine cable systems and terrestrial networks.

The Commission has found that facilities need not be identical in order to offer pro-competitive

benefits.7 There are thus sufficient alternative facilities providing U.S.-Europe connectivity to

preclude the system from becoming a bottleneck facility on that route. GU Holdings’ intended

operation of the system will therefore serve the Commission’s long-standing policy to encourage

competition through private submarine cable transmission, pursuant to which the Commission

has granted numerous cable landing licenses.8

       For these reasons, the Commission should grant a cable landing license for the system on

a non-common carrier basis.

not limited itself to that reasoning”); Telefonica SAM USA, Inc. et al., Cable Landing License, 15

limited to that reasoning”).

identical substitute common carrier facilities before non-common carrier facilities will be
authorized would serve as a disincentive for entities to take risks and expend capital to expand
and upgrade facilities”).

         E.      System Ownership: 47 C.F.R. § 1.767(a)(7)

         GU Holdings and its affiliates will own and control the system as shown in Table 1

below.

                            Table 1: Ownership and Control of System


      GU Holdings Affiliates           Participation Interest                Voting Interest

     ● GU Holdings (portion in                  100%                               100%
       U.S. territory)
     ● Google Infrastructure
       Bermuda Limited
       (“GIB”) (portion in
       international waters)
     ● Google France Sarl
       (“Google France”)
       (portion in French
       territory)



         Because neither GIB nor Google France will use the U.S. endpoints of the system, neither

of these entities is required to be an applicant for the cable landing license.9

         Google France has contracted with Orange S.A. (“Orange”) to be the landing party in

France. A landing party agreement governs the relationship between Google France and Orange

and provides that, upon completion of Dunant, the supplier will convey to Orange ownership of

the portion of the system that extends 12 nautical miles from the shores of France. Orange will

then grant Google France an IRU for the same portion of the system. Further, Orange will

receive an IRU for two fiber pairs for the entire length of the system. GU Holdings and its

affiliates will maintain control of the system in U.S. territory and international waters. Because

Orange will neither (1) own or control a cable landing station in the U.S. nor (2) own or control a

the cable landing license.10

 II.     REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF 47 C.F.R. § 1.767(h)(1)

         GU Holdings requests a waiver of 47 § C.F.R. 1.767(h)(1) rules so that Telxius is not

required to be an applicant for a cable landing license for the system. “The purpose of [Section

1.767(h)(1)] is to ensure that entities having a significant ability to affect the operation of the

cable system become licensees so that they are subject to the conditions and responsibilities

associated with the license.”13 Telxius will have no independent ability to affect the system’s

operation. Including Telxius as an applicant is also not necessary to ensure compliance by GU



10 See 47 C.F.R. § 1.767(h).
11 Use of the Telxius station is subject to final execution of contractual agreements.
12 The cable landing station in Virginia Beach is operated as a commercial condominium. Telxius

manages and operates the entire cable landing station on a day-to-day basis. The power feed
equipment for Dunant will be located in a unit within the cable landing station that is owned
exclusively by Telxius.
13 See Actions Taken Under the Cable Landing License Act, Public Notice, 23 FCC Rcd. 227,

229 (Int’l Bur. 2008) (“TPE Cable Landing License”) (citing Review of Commission
Consideration of Applications under the Cable Landing License Act, Report and Order, 16 FCC
Rcd. 22,167, 22,194-95 ¶¶ 53-54 (2001)).

Holdings with the Cable Landing License Act, the Commission’s cable landing license rules, or

the terms of any cable landing license. Grant of the waiver will thus be consistent with

Commission precedent.14

       For the Virginia Beach cable landing station, Telxius will provide certain limited services

that will not enable Telxius to significantly affect the system’s operation. GU Holdings intends

to contract with Telxius for the right to use separately-caged collocation space in the cable

landing station. GU Holdings also intends to contract with Telxius for certain operation and

maintenance services at the cable landing station. Telxius will not have access to GU Holdings’

cage, except: (i) to perform certain smart hands maintenance services as per GU Holdings’

direction and instructions; (ii) to conduct work at the cage unrelated to the system, after

providing GU Holdings advance notice and opportunity to supervise any such work; or (iii) in

cases of emergency. The agreement with Telxius will have a term of 25 years. GU Holdings will
